The
2012 conference had been planned for Nenthead but had to be changed when the
NPHT had problems earlier this year. Plans are being developed at short notice
to hold the conference around Alderley Edge in Cheshire. The main venue
will be the National Trust property at Quarry Bank Mill near Wilmslow
and the conference will be held from 29th June - 1st July. The
conference will be hosted by the Derbyshire Caving Club.
The
idea is to hold talks relevant to Alderley Edge, copper mining and Bronze Age
mining on the Saturday and Sunday mornings and then organise a range of field
trips in the afternoons. Field trips are likely to include related
industries - such as coal mining areas and the salt industries.
It is
likely that the afternoons will be available for additional talks or discussion
on other mining topics.
More
details about Alderley Edge can be found on the Derbyshire Caving Club website.
