We are most fortunate to have John Harms and his wife Susan living in Tanunda. John is a gifted writer, historian, publisher, speaker, publishing consultant, MC, lunch host, broadcaster, and co-creator of the very popular Footy Almanac website. This started as a footy writing site but quickly became a platform for writing on memoir, poetry, music, short fiction, and art. John often hosts speakers over a meal, most recently interviewing Neil Balme and Rick Darling at the Tanunda Clubhouse.
