News

The RSMA has tentatively booked the following dates, time and venues for the two main activities in the RSMA Calendar:

Thursday 25 June 2020: RSMA AGM. Given current government restrictions on travel and gatherings, the AGM is likely to be via a Webex or similar video conference-type arrangement. The AGM is due to begin at 18.00 and papers will be available a couple of days before the event.

These restrictions also mean that the Final Year BBQ is postponed until such time that we are all allowed to meet in a group.

Friday 27 November 2020: RSMA Annual Dinner at the Rembrandt Hotel, South Kensington, London.

Obviously, in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, these dates, times and venues may change. As and when the situation becomes clearer, a further communication to members will be made.

Minutes of the Annual General Meeting held in June can be found here
It is realised that many members are unable to attend this event and it is hoped that by publishing the minutes members will be better appraised of our activities. The President and Treasurer's reports are included with the minutes, and the committee is happy to consider questions/comments from members.

History

The Royal School of Mines Association was formed in 1873, initially as the RSM Old Students' Dining Club. As well as a yearly reunion, the aims of the Club were to promote the RSM and to advance its interests and those of its members; objectives which remain to this day.

From these early days, Minesmen, as RSM graduates were known, spread to all parts of the globe. The Association became formally inaugurated in 1913, and branches, based in established mining centres, sprang up in several countries, including Australia, Canada and South Africa. Correspondents were appointed throughout the world and an international network and local points of contact are thus maintained, facilitated by a register of members held in London.

The RSMA now has hundreds of members, of which nearly half live over seas. They are employed in a staggeringly wide range of jobs, not just those directly associated with geology, mining, petroleum or materials science, but throughout the financial services, in media, journalism, information and computing technology to name but a few!

One of the most prominent features of the Association and its members is their friendliness and generosity, particularly towards the undergraduate students, who remain the lifeblood of the RSM. It is therefore natural that many of its current events are channelled into student affairs, and the Association is proud to maintain a strong link with the students of the Royal School of Mines.
