Everyday English Regional Roadshow 2025

Everyday English Regional Roadshow Winter 2025

This July, instead of holding one central event, the Everyday English Winter Conference will be held in four  locations, on different days during the school holidays.

Why change? We have listened to feedback about travel times and opportunities to share and learn from others involved in  Everyday English. Regional gatherings will be smaller and for many people, mean less travel.

The program will be the same at each event. You can choose one event that suits your location or other commitments. 

What's staying the same? There will be plenty of  practical input, lesson demonstrations and encouragement from God's word. Our summer conference will remain as one large event, which many love as an exciting launch for the year ahead of English ministry.

Timing for each Roadshow is 9:45am arrival for 10:00am start – 2:30pm finish.

Other details are:

Roadshow 1 - West Pennant Hills - Tuesday, 8th July 
St Matthew's Anglican Church - Cnr of Castle Hill and New Line Rds, West Pennant Hills

Roadshow 2 - Guildford - Thursday, 10th July
