Thilo,
I'll reply on-list as it provides a useful opportunity to notify members
regarding the conference.
In 2005 the Historical Metallurgy Society (HMS) conference will be held in
Wensleydale, North Yorkshire, 9-11 September, based in Middleham. All
lectures and meals will be at the Key Centre in the middle of the township
which provides a wide range of accommodation. Delegates are expected to
book their own accommodation - however, the area can be busy in September
and early booking is advisable. For details of accommodation on the
Internet go to http://www.middlehamonline.com where you will also find
information on the conference venue.
The conference theme will focus on lead/silver smelting and refining, with
the opportunity to review work done since the 'Boles and Smeltmills'
conference in Swaledale in 1992, but we are also looking for papers on iron
metallurgy, and associated subjects, related to the Yorkshire Dales area.
Offers of papers, help in organising field trips or any enquiries regarding
the conference should be sent to Dr Peter Claughton, Blaenpant Morfil,
Clynderwen, Pembrokeshire, Wales SA66 7RE - e-mail: [log in to unmask]
A conference booking form will be circulated to members with the HMS
newsletter in Spring 2005. Non-members should contact me, as above, and
I'll make sure they receive a form when available.
Peter
