Professional Engineers Country Weekend 20 to 22 Oct 2023 in Swan Hill – Invitation
Some Professional Engineers could well be interested in taking a break from the big city or their country town and joining in with a live-in type activity with an engineering flavour and a friendly atmosphere. This is coming up in the Swan Hill area in northern Victoria from Friday evening 20 October to Sunday afternoon 22 Oct 2023.
The Weekend of interesting visits and events at local venues is designed to delightfully entertain Prof. Engineers along with their family and friends while enjoying the hospitality of the local Prof. Engineers and their families.
