U3A Baw Baw will host it's 21st "Literary Lunch" at the Royal Hotel in Drouin on Friday, October 10.
Guest speaker at this year's event is former AFL player and author Des Tobin.
Des has crammed more lives into his 86 years than your average cat. He has variously been a failed student, a discontented apprentice panel beater, a youth worker, a springboard diver, a junior pole-vaulter, a VFL and Olympic Australian Rules footballer, a ten pin bowling instructor, a successful business executive within the funeral industry, a golfing tragic, a university lecturer and a prolific writer.
His most recent book "It's in the Genes – Australian Football Families", tells the stories of some of the many families who have produced multiple generations of VFA, VFL, AFL and AFLW footballers stretching back to the late 19th century.
Des's signature guest speaker talk – "More lives than your average Cat "- is filled with interesting stories, spiked with amusing anecdotes and carries positive and optimistic messages.
The "Literary Lunch" will be held and the Royal Hotel in Drouin on Friday October 10. The event will begin at 12:30pm. Booking is essential and can be made by emailing courses@u3abawbaw.org.au or by ringing Mary on 0499 221 993 or Lesley on 0408 226 254.
