If you miss the North American

Tug Convention, you could miss the boat.

The 30 April to the 3 May 1973 are dates that should definitely be in your diary. Because the North American Tug

Convention is the one place you need to be if you're in the pulling and pushing business.

Tug men from all over the world will be there. From America, Australia, Bahamas, Brazil, Canada, Fiji, Germany, Holland, Japan,

Kuwait, Philippines, Portugal, Singapore, Sweden, UK and Venezuela. That's an awful lot of knowledgeable talk to listen to.

A list of the papers for discussion is shown below. Take a close look at it and you'll realise what you'll miss if you're not there.
