23.01.2022 A fabulous FCRC seminar at the magnificent Hobart Town Hall yesterday. The From the Edges of Empire online Biographical Dictionary was launched at the FCRC Seminar by Colette McAlpine co-editor of the collection with Lucy Frost. It was a fantastic seminar organised by FCRC President Alison Alexander with the support of a great committee especially Cheryl Griffin who worked tirelessly to ensure the day was a great success. And it was! CWP Inc members greatly enjoyed the day. We sold a lot of books with the work of Leonie Mickleborough assisted by FCRC members and Jenny Wilson.
