Welcome to the Camborne School of Mines Association website. Browse through the links above for information on CSM Association related events in the UK and around the world, as well as Association members, Merchandise available for purchase, Photographs and much more.
The Camborne School of Mines Association was formed for all former students of the School and is an independent, self-governing organisation which finances itself entirely - mostly through the subscriptions of the members. The annual subscription is £20.00, which can be paid to the Secretary of the CSM Association by Standing Order, Cheque, Credit Card or Cash.
There are currently around 1,000 members around the world, who receive three newsletters per year and a copy of the CSM Association Journal, which has been published since 1896. The Association helps to organise social functions throughout the world. Functions have been organised in Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales, Jo'burg and Vancouver, to name but a few.
The Association maintains a database of former students, so we can help to keep you in touch with each other, wherever you are. About half the members are residing or working overseas, particularly in Australia, Malaysia, Southern Africa, West Africa, and in the US and Canada. Many being employed in production mining, or in exploration, in tunnelling, civil engineering, quarrying, or in associated financial institutions.
There used to be a saying that at the bottom of every hole in the world you would find a Cornishman. However, increasingly, graduates are involved with the oil industry, so there is a very active branch of the Association in Aberdeen.
Former students have traditionally had very close links with each other and with CSM. Sport has always played a very important part of the life of the School. The CSM RFC and CSM AFC have each celebrated their Centenary years and are amongst the oldest football clubs in the UK. The major social functions throughout the year are the 'Barrel Match' where current students play past students at rugby, soccer, hockey and squash and the 'Bottle Match' where CSM plays its old adversary, the Royal School of Mines (RSM) for a black, battered, metal bottle.
We are proud to wear the CSM emblem, in the traditional silver, blue and gold and made up of the fifteen balls of Cornwall overlaid by CSM and a crossed pick and shovel. Our motto is 'Laboris Gloria Ludi', which has always been taken to mean 'Work Hard, Play Hard'.
