The conference sessions will be held at the Tamworth Regional Entertainment and Conference Centre, while the annual SWUG dinner will be held in the historic surroundings of Tamworth Town Hall.

Bob Lockley, SWUG president says, “This will be a great venue for our conference and I would encourage everybody to get in early with their registration and accommodation bookings. It is sure to be a very informative and highly entertaining weekend, with several overseas guest speakers lined up.”

The host print site this year is the Fairfax Media Regional Print facility that houses a six tower Goss Community pressline. Organisers says the press is expected to be of interest to delegates having been installed just last year as the result of a project which saw reconditioned units from various sites around Australia combined at the one location.

The flagship publication produced at the site is the Northern Daily Leader, a six-day-a-week local newspaper with a circulation of over 13,000 copies.
