hi folks does anyone remember the meeting at Barnsley to set up The Association of Colliery Mechanics and Electricians. Think it was in the mechanics institute.about 1964 ish.

There used to be a bit of History here WRT Associations:
WRT the AMEE & AMEME that became the IMEME. That then all merged into the IME & then IMM as they all fought with each other for an ever reducing pool of members as the UK Coal Pits were shut down. “ In 1909 the Association of Mining Electrical Engineers (AMEE) was formed in Manchester. Members consisted of practicing colliery electricians and others involved in design, manufacture, education and research relating to electrical equipment for use in coalmines. A structure of regional branches was adopted to elect suitable members to advance the knowledge and competence of colliery engineers and electricians. By the following year, 10 Branches had been established including the West and East of Scotland Branches.
The Stirling Sub-Branch of the West of Scotland Branch was formed in 1954 and the two merged to become the West of Scotland & Stirling Branch in 1968. The East of Scotland Branch held its meetings in Dunfermline and its name changed to the Fife Branch in 1931. The Lothians Branch was formed in 1918 and finally the Ayrshire Branch was formed in 1920 but became a Sub-Branch of the West of Scotland Branch six years later.
In 1941 the Association of Mining Electrical Engineers changed its name to the Association of Mining Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (AMEME). A further name changed occurred in 1983 when the Association became The Institution of Mining Electrical and Mining Mechanical Engineers (IMEMME).
In 1990, discussions took place between The Institution of Mining and Metallurgy (IMM), The Institution of Mining Engineers (IME), and The Institution of Mining Electrical and Mining Mechanical Engineers (IMEMME) to consider a possible merger between the institutions. However, at that time a merger did not transpire. However, in 1995, The Institution of Mining Engineers (IME) merged with the Institution of Mining Electrical and Mining Mechanical Engineers (IMEMME) when Her Majesty approved the Supplementary Charter and new Byelaws.
Very soon afterwards discussions on a merger between The Institution of Mining Engineers (IME) and The Institution of Mining and Metallurgy (IMM) reopened. The Institution of Mining and Metallurgy’s roots go back to 1892. It was believed that the activities of the two institutions both overlapped and were complementary. The relative strength of the UK branches of the one Institution would complement the overseas presence of the other. Consequently, The Mining Institute of Scotland was The Institution of Mining and Metallurgy Scotland Branch in 1998.”Noted:

Interesting that "Association of Mining Electrical and Mechanical Engineers" is not on Wiki
########## Nothing useful on:
“Run with the fox and hunt with the hounds”: managerial trade unionism and the British Association of Colliery Management, 1947-1994
“Specifically focusing on the development of the British Association of Colliery Management (BACM) from 1947 until 1994.”
“Unlike the empty rhetoric of the Mining Association of GreatBritain (the body representing Britain’s coal owners prior to nationalization), which had promised ‘to raise the profession of mining engineers to a level at least equal to that of any other scientific and technical profession’, the NCB transformed managers’ status.22 And managers saw an immediate improvement in their salary, conditions, and opportunities for professional development. Moreover, they acquired an independent voice within the industry, distinct from other professional associations, such as the Institution of Mining Engineers (IME) and the Association of Mining Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (AMEME). This initiative owed much to the commitment and support of Labour ministers.23 The NCB’s treatment of managerial employees, which contrasted sharply with the private coal companies, helps to explain the increasing, if qualified, support among many mine management professionals for nationalization.”
########## ACME ?.....Maybe Association of Mining Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (AMEME)?
