July Cornish Mining Sundowner

There was a good turnout last night for the monthly mining sundowner at the Chain Locker pub in Falmouth. It was a beautiful evening, in contrast to last month's meeting where the regulars were joined by very wet delegates from the Physical Separation '13 conference.

There are always new faces at the sundowners and last night it was good to see David Williams, who graduated from CSM in 1984, and a first appearance from King Edward Mine's Tony Clarke. Great to catch up with my old friend Bentley Orchard, formerly with FLSmidth, now with Weir Minerals Europe, and MEI's Biohydromet '14 consultant Chris Bryan, now firmly settled in his lecturing post at CSM.
