Meet the South Western Times team and hear an update on The West Australian Regional Newspapers, with a special focus on key South West mastheads: South Western Times, Bunbury Herald, and Harvey-Waroona Reporter.

At the conclusion of Business After Hours BREC invites BGCCI Members to stay and enjoy complimentary tickets to see COPA 71, the extraordinary story of the 1971 Women’s World Cup. You may register a guest to join you for the film.

This is a fantastic opportunity to network with fellow professionals, explore the arts, and indulge in the cultural richness of our community. We look forward to welcoming you to an evening of connections and creativity.


COPA 71 tells the story of the 1971 Women's Soccer World Cup, played between England, Argentina, Mexico, France, Denmark, and Italy in front of over 100,000 roaring fans at the historic Azteca Stadium. This was the greatest show on Earth but, despite being one of the most groundbreaking moments in soccer history, you’ve probably never heard of it. And why? Because the players were all women, and the heroic event that unfolded, had been sidelined from history – until now.Through recently uncovered and never-seen archive and compelling contemporary interviews, the film revels in the excitement, passion and humour of this inexplicably well-kept secret

This event is for members of the Bunbury Geographe Chamber of Commerce & Industry. Non-Members may attend if they are a guest of a member, or are interested in joining the Chamber of Commerce.
