The Society of Old Friends has organised a visit to the newly refurbished Penrith Museum of Printing at Penrith Raceway on Tuesday 29th August.
Guest speaker Dr. Stephanus Peters will address a lunch meeting of the Australian chapter of the Society of Old Friends – the local branch of an organisation set up in England a century ago to foster and encourage fellowship among members of the printing industry.
“While membership has traditionally been by the ‘tap on the shoulder,’ the Sydney branch has thrown open membership to anyone of good intent who is interested in contributing in some way to preserving our valuable heritage,” says Old Friend and JDA Print Recruitment founder, James Cryer.
