FRIDAY 10/11

Stevie J’s giant story

AFL star Stevie J will be at Bookgrove in Ocean Grove on Friday to launch his autobiography The Cat with a Giant Story at 5pm.

The Cat with a Giant Story provides unprecedented insight into the life and career of one of the AFL’s most successful, exciting and watchable players of the modern era. Steve Johnson will be doing a free signing all of his books purchased at Bookgrove. The Bookgrove is located at 1/73 the terrace, Ocean Grove. This is a free event.

SATURDAY 11/11

Remembrance Day

In 2017, November 11 marks the 99th anniversary of the Armistice which ended the First World War (1914–18). Each year on this day Australians observe one minute’s silence at 11 am, in memory of those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts. Flags should be lowered to half mast at 10am and then returned to standard height at 11.02am.
