North Eastern Geological Society

The society arranges a series of lecture meetings on geological/environmental topics in the winter months (September to March). The lectures,usually illustrated, are given by professional/academic geologists.
There is also an annual event when members have the opportunity to give short talks/demonstrations.
 Lectures are held at 7:30 pm in the Arthur Holmes lecture theatre, which is downstairs from the Porter's Lodge on the Science Laboratories site, South Rd., University of Durham.  They are followed by coffee or tea, to which all speakers are cordially invited.  The December and March meetings are followed by cheese and wine. The March meeting is preceded by the AGM, which lasts about 15 min.
In addition, members are invited to attend the weekly guest lectures of the Open University Geology Summer Schools which are held at Durham in July and August, commencing Wed. 16/07/08
