Workshops and ScheduleThe schedule for 2025 is being finalised but below are the items that have been finalised ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pre-conference Workshops (15-17 September 2025) Cosm is offering 22 pre-conference workshops; these workshops are free for Digistar users who are registered for the DUG conference. We have hands-on training facilities as well as our EC Dome (LED dome) for a variety of workshop experiences. The list of workshops for DUG 2025 can be downloaded here. Please read before registering. Workshops are available to in-person and remote delegates; space is limited for in-person attendees. For hands-on workshops, we limit two people per workstation to enhance the hands-on experience. If you are bringing a Digistar laptop, you may be asked to use your laptop and share with one other delegate in order to maximize the number of people who can attend workshops. If you are unwilling to do this, please respond “no” on the registration form when asked if you are bringing a Digistar laptop to DUG. Zoom links will be provided to remote attendees the week before the conference. Workshops that do not meet minimum enrolment may be cancelled or combined. DUG Workshops (15 - 17 October)

(svr.co.uk) Explore the Georgian riverside town of Bewdley, wander in the Severn Valley Country Park, or visit the ruins of a 12th century Castle in Bridgenorth, there is plenty to do on this day out. The plan will be to travel to Kidderminster by mainline train, before going back in time to the days of steam. You'll have the chance to explore the line in your own time, before meeting up at the Engine House for an afternoon cream tea (tea and scones with jam and cream) and then returning back to Kidderminster. You are then invited to Colin Hutcheson's house (2 miles away) for delicious refreshments and a meal at a nearby country pub, before returning back to Birmingham. Total cost estimated: £36 (approx $50) plus evening dinner (this price will be dependant upon minimum numbers) and a separate payment link will be sent. Trip Highlights
