Speaker Anita Roper CEO Sustainability Victoria & is FFC Board Member and Reds Foundation member.

The guest speaker at the Luncheon will be one of the Club's favorite sons of the 1970's and 1980's - GARRY WILSON.

Garry Wilson, the courageous former Fitzroy rover, is one of Fitzroy's most distingished players. He was knocked around so much that he played the final years of his career wearing a helmet, which was unusual in the early 1980s, but it was a feature that made him well known amongst the footballing public. He says he was knocked out five or six times and, on about 20 occasions, finished a match with blurred vision.
