Once again a big thank you to everybody who contributed to the calendar, without your help and your photos it couldn't happen! For 2020 we have a good mixture of high quality photographs from mines around the country (and several from further afield!), and all accompanied by some historical and factual information about the featured mine.
Profits
For the past ten years we've run the calendar purely as a fund raiser, with every penny raised going to member designated, relevant, good causes.
All profit from the 2019 calendar will be going to either the Goodluck Mine Preservation Club or the Gloucestershire Cave Rescue Group and you'll be able to nominate your preferred beneficiary at the time of ordering.
