New writers and a new column
THIS WEEK we have a new column from Moonee Valley's Vincent O'Donnell with stories of our past - In Our Valley; we have a new reviewer, John Coomans, on the Movies page; First year Melbourne Uni journo student Hannah Davies is back with an interview in Books and we are slowly building MV's Community News but always want more. And a fun horse racing event is coming up at Flemington with Dennis Pagan and Kevin Sheedy head-to-head - VRC.
And don't underestimate your past - check out Louise Coakley's DNA page ... and see how one of our basketball clubs made it through 2020 with flying colours.
