“Not Bad Thanks” – Graeme Willingham: Some thoughts, the critics, and an invite
What a fab read the first extract from Graeme Willingham’s new book, Not Bad Thanks, proved to be for Almanac readers.
It certainly has whetted the appetites of Almanackers who readily await further extracts from the book to be published.
And they’re coming!
Two more extracts will be published on the site over the next couple of weeks so look out for them, especially the next installment featuring the trial and tribulations of Graeme’s team mate, the kissing Postie.
The kissing Postie you ask?
You’ll have to read the extract to find out.
Or better still, why not come along to the forthcoming Almanac dinner featuring Graeme in conversation with John Harms, full details HERE.
Featured in Graeme’s book are many tales of amusing, entertaining, and at times moving events about his rag tag bunch of basketballer mates and their exploits will form the focus of discussion between Graeme and John in a Q & A interview format on the night. These exploits about the Not Bad Thanks team overcoming their pitfalls to lift themselves from the bottom of the league ladder to achieve success will guarantee smiles and warm fuzzies for attendees. Discussion about Graeme’s extensive and interesting career as a journalist, in the media and public relations will be an informative added bonus for patrons.
