The society is for anyone interested in geology,
whether beginners or experienced.

We hold monthly talks on a
wide range of earth science topics. We have several day and weekend field
trips a year and usually a longer foreign excursion. In August we have
an annual 'soiree' when slides and specimens collected during the year are
shown.
Visitors are always welcome (small fee).
