It's ready!

Once again a big thank you to everybody who contributed to the calendar, without your help and your photos it couldn't happen! For 2012 we have a good mixture of high quality photographs from mines around the country, all by different photographers, and all accompanied by some historical and factual information about the featured mine.

Profits

For the past five years we've run the calendar purely as a fund raiser, with every penny raised going to member designated, relevant, good causes..

Once again, all profits from calendar sales will be going to relevant good causes. This year, by member vote, these are Welsh Mines Preservation Trust and the Derbyshire Cave Rescue Organisation.

For more information on the beneficiaries, please see Welsh Mines Preservation Trust and Derbyshire Cave Rescue Organisation.
