We support the Midlands Cave Rescue Organisation (MCRO)
Nineteen Club members made the trip to Cornwall to attend the conference (some were involved in the organisation) and extended their stay to the following week with multiple activities on most days!
Club Chair Gareth also organised a number of underground and surface visits around the NAMHO programme for members to join.
This years conference was organised by the NAMHO Committee with the theme of "Tin, Copper, Gold ..." to reflect Cornwall's long and extensive mining history.
Sadly there was no sign of the lectern made by Andy Harris for the 2021 Conference and used at the last 2 conferences, did it break down on the way to Redruth?
The 2025 Conference is being held in North Wales over the weekend of June 28 to 29. There will be additional activities in the days before and after the main conference. More details will be available on the NAMHO Conference website.
The Club display at the Ironbridge Archaeology Day, Coalbrookdale Museum of Iron. (Kelvin Lake)
David Poyner and Kelvin Lake took a display of Club archaeology work to this event hosted by the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust at the Museum of Iron, Coalbrookdale (sponsored by the Association for Industrial Archaeology). With over 60 years of Club activities to choose from it is very difficult to decide what to feature on the display!
A number of ‘new’ photos of work undertaken by the club in the past year atBillingsley, Eardington and Tixall were printed and mounted especially for this year, but we didn't take the tramway rails and wheels - mainly to save our backs when carrying them up to the top floor of the Museum of Iron!
