Work Experience Kid Writes NMFC Article

North Melbourne’s media & communications department has come a long way in the last six months. After getting it all wrong early in the year, NMFC’s use of the web has improved significantly (in particular the twitter and facebook updates). But it just took a massive hit with this article.

Highlights of Old Arden St

Last Saturday, North Melbourne Football Club opened its doors of its dilapidated old facilities for the last time (and make no mistake, dilapidated is at the generous end of descriptions). Rev. Shinboner wandered down and got way more than he bargained for!
