MQ
celebrates its 10
th
anniversary
The
MQ
team celebrated its 10
th
year of
exhibiting at the Institute of Quarrying’s
annual conference and exhibition in April,
starting off so many years ago at the
Birchwood Conference Centre, moving to
Durban’s Elangeni (a favourite venue that
is still spoken of fondly) , then the Gateway
in Umhlanga, and finally once again to
the fairest Cape. Incidentally as a mining
journalist, the editor has attended IQSA
conferences for over two decades.
The past ten years haven’t been easy,
for both the quarrying and the publishing
industries. The quarrying sector has expe-
rienced extreme highs and desperate
lows with very few inbetweens – it really
is a cyclical industry.
Having said that,
MQ
thanks its readers
and advertisers for their loyal and contin-
ued support over this decade; without
which, the magazine would not have
developed into what it is today.
Over the last 10 years,
MQ
has made
many contacts and friends, and is moving
into the next decade doing what it does
best.
