British Cold Forging Group (BCFG) Workshop Programme
The BCFG (former name of IMfT) began a Workshop Programme in 1993. These were held at the premises of member organisations and involved a morning workshop and plant tour followed by an afternoon formal group meeting. The BCFG Workshop Programme is listed below.
