WHAT WE DO
The Society was formed in 1974 to encourage the study of, and an interest in, all aspects of mining, geology and mineralogy in the South West of England.
We hold evening talks on a wide variety of mining related topiccs on the third Tuesday of each month at the King Edward Mine, Troon, Camborne, Cornwall,TR14 9HW.
Details of these talks are available on the Events Diary page of this website and the CBMS Facebook page.
The Society owns its own underground mine in Beacon, close to Camborne. The Great Condurrow Mine is a combination of 19th century and 20th century underground workings along with a suite of surface buildings.
Members of the Society meet at the mine every Thursday morning to carry out restoration and project work there. You can read more about the Great Condurrow mine by clicking the link on the left. For insurance reasons the mine is not open to the public.
We publish a newsletter in June and December and a news sheet in March and September. News sheets for the current year and past year may be available on the NEWS SHEET page.
Non-members are welcome to attend our monthly meetings. Field trips to mining sites around the area are arranged from time to time.
Please consider
