- **Event Name**: Seniors’ Month - Sunday Literary Session with Fairfield Books
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 25 Oct, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Sun, 25 Oct, 2026 at 04:00 pm (+11:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us for a book chat and afternoon tea on Sunday 25th October at the Fairfield Community Centre at 3pm.

We're delighted to welcome award-winning author Jock Serong, who will be talking about his new book, A Suitable Man — a biography of the remarkable David Fletcher Jones.

Most Australians know the Fletcher Jones name from the stores and the clothing, but few know the man behind it. The son of a struggling Bendigo blacksmith, he left school at thirteen, survived being buried alive by a shell blast in France during WWI, and went on to build a menswear empire founded on an idea well ahead of its time: profit-sharing and staff ownership. The sign over his Warrnambool factory read "Fletcher Jones and Staff."

Jock Serong is the author of Quota, The Rules of Backyard Cricket, On the Java Ridge, Preservation, The Burning Island, The Settlement and Cherrywood. He has won the Ned Kelly Award and the ARA Historical Novel Prize.

Come along to share your own favourite reads, hear a great Australian story, and enjoy afternoon tea with fellow book lovers.
