The association's conference this year will be based at the Tremough Campus, University College Falmouth, at the invitation of the Trevithick Society. The campus is new and is situated north of the port of Falmouth. The buildings are generally modern, with up-to-date facilities.
The conference will concentrate on the industrial past of Cornwall, with its history of mining and other extractive industries and the associated engineering and transport needs. The principal lectures will commence on Friday evening with a brief history of the Trevithick Society, followed by lectures by local experts on various aspects of the industrial history of Cornwall.
This year is the 100th anniversary of Tom Rolt's birth, in his memory and in place of the traditional Rolt Memorial Lecture there will be a symposium on the theme 'Remembering Tom Rolt'. The speakers are expected to include Sir Neil Cossons and Keith Falconer.
It should be noted that this year, due to the unfortunate variance in visit costs, there is no 'Complete Package' price on the application form, only a 'Complete Stay' price which excludes the costs of visits. The visits section should be filled out with the relevant prices for the visits participants intend to go on.
