Memories of PDMIW '03

The conference with a cumbersome name, Processing and Disposal of Minerals Industry Wastes '03, began 20 years ago yesterday in Falmouth. It was MEI's first conference dealing with environmental issues and attracted around 50 delegates from 16 countries. It was held at the ill-fated Falmouth Beach Hotel and was organised in association with the Camborne School of Mines and the Technical University of Delft, The Netherlands. For us, it was notable that this was Jon's first conference after joining MEI that year, and it was also the first MEI Conference where digital photos were taken, some of which are shown below:
