Zoom is a good tool for running such talks and taking part is free and easy. I am sure that between us we must have the knowledge and photos to run a good number of such talks. I could do one on The Company of Mines Royal, or The History of Coniston Coppermines, or The Wad Mine. Conscious these are all rather Cumbria centric, so may not appeal to a wider audience ? Any takers, contributors or ideas ? IP: 86.189.191.229

Plus any other stuff. So I am in for a start. -- My avatar is a poor likeness. IP: 88.108.8.23

I'd also be happy to host the talk as I have a licence which allows unlimited time and a larger number of participants. PM me and I'll start the process if you want. -- The finest workers in stone are not copper or steel tools, but the gentle touches of air and water working at their leisure with a liberal allowance of time.

The last one we invited KURG members to join, and so if other groups are doing this, with their society Zoom accounts (or whatever platform they use), inviting AditNow members along as well might be an additional way to spread the love. I assume most of us know of the SubBrit webinars as well. IP: 91.125.156.131

We have been having them at the local model club and they have been well received by the members. Its helped to keep the club members in touch during these troubled times. IP: 92.24.44.27

Should we schedule the first “event” on here and see if anyone signs up ? Who knows, it might catch on. I can do “An Illustrated History of Coniston Coppermines” to get the ball rolling. Or “The impact of the German Miners at Keswick in the 16thC” IP: 86.189.191.229

Next Thursday, 7th January on the Zoom Platform at 20.00h, Mark Hatton will give an illustrated talk on the History of the Coniston Copper Mines.
