Comrades,

The Footy Almanac is a community of writers (and other creators) and readers.

We’re actually a lot like a sporting club, which is why we have memberships.

By becoming an Almanac member for 2026, you’ll help us cover our costs, ensuring we keep the site up to date with the latest contributions. In particular, your membership helps us pay our editors for their professional services. If you would like to contribute more than the standard membership of $100, let us know.

 

Membership for 2026 is $100

(Student rate is $50)

 

Your membership includes:

A book – choose from our list (which is on the membership form which we will send to you).

Priority booking to all events (including Grand Final Eve lunch)

As a member you’re able to post pieces on www.footyalmanac.com.au free of charge, while non-members pay a fee to have their pieces posted.

If you’re interested in becoming a member please contact John Harms [email protected] and we’ll email you about the next step or you can download the 2026 membership form which explains how to join or renew. DOWNLOAD THE FOOTY ALMANAC 2026 MEMBERSHIP FORM HERE

Thanks for your involvement and support,
JTH

 

 

Become a Patron

We have a number of patrons. They are wonderful supporters who make an annual contribution to help keep the Almanac ticking along. This especially allows us to develop projects. For example:

Peter Stirk makes a personal contribution to a student who is an emerging writer/historian/journalist to have a stint as an intern on our website. John Harms acts as mentor. Stirky also pays for a number of memberships, especially for those trying to make their way as professional writers. This year it’s Kristian Cavallo.

Poet, writer and teacher Kevin Densley who has been writing for the Almanac for a few years now, also offers support to an emerging writer/editor. In 2026, it’s Marina Cerra.

Hayden Kelly also makes a personal contribution. We offer the Hayden Kelly Scholarship to a student with an interest in writing and editing for our website.

Help us to support a student journalist/writer/historian by creating a scholarship/internship. If you would like to make a contribution as a patron please email John Harms.

 

Sponsorship and advertising

We also welcome support through sponsorship and  advertising. These give your company/organisation presence on our website, in our printed publications, and at our events.

To find out more about becoming a sponsor/advertiser please email John Harms.
