NAMHO Conference in Cornwall

27 June - 2 July - Nigel Dibben - SW 66444 40734

There is an  view offline report (PDF) offline report     related to this event

The NAMHO conference is usually a mixture of field trips to mines and lectures about mining, often following a theme for that year. Conferences are usually organised and run by a club resident in the area but in 2024, the conference was run by NAMHO officers with particular help from Helga, resident in the area, and Les Williams. Both used a team of friends for different tasks such as guiding trips and running the bar.

The conference started earlier than usual because of the distance. There was a visit arranged for Friday 28th June and trips for the following week. I attended from the Thursday night to the following Tuesday.

The report available on this page has details of trips taken and also more photos.
