Annual Dinner

The Institute’s Annual Dinner is a celebration of both the work of the Institute over the past year, and an opportunity to meet up with old friends and colleagues from the Newcastle & Durham University Mining Department alumni. Previous dinners have been held at the Crowne Plaza, the Country Hotel and within the Institute’s grand premises of Neville Hall.

Our 170th Anniversary Dinner will include:

  • Three course dinner
  • Musical accompaniment from the award winning Ashington Colliery Brass Band
  • Speeches from the Presidents of the Institute and the University Mining Society Alumni
  • Special Guest speaker from the mining industry

Please note that due to high demand for tables, spaces will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

This year’s dinner will be held at Neville Hall in Newcastle on the 29th of October 2022.

We have a range of sponsorship benefits on offer for those companies who wish to support our event. For further details on these please contact the Hon. Secretary (Dr Andrew Dobrzanski) at: office@mininginstitute.org.uk
