Colliery veterans from the Somerset pits will get together at Radstock Museum on Monday, 3rd September.
This will be the twenty-fourth reunion of these men and women who dug the pits and manned surface services when the Somerset Coalfield was a staple industry of the county.
The last pits shut down in 1973 and Radstock was at the heart of the coalfield, so these veterans share vivid memories of what it was like to work in one of the hardest of all industries.
Every year, the miners love to get together at the museum, which has a unique display of mining memorabilia, to share yarns over ploughman's lunches and liquid refreshments.
All former mineworkers and staff are invited by the Somerset District Miners Welfare Trust to come along to the reunion, which starts at 12 noon. For more information, contact the museum on: 01761 437722.
