North Eastern Geological Society

The society arranges a series of lecture meetings on geological/environmental topics in the winter months (October to March). The lectures,usually illustrated, are given by professional/academic geologists.
There is sometimes 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, members and guests are cordially invited. The December and March meetings are sometimes followed by cheese and wine. The March meeting is preceded by the AGM.
If unsure about this location, please contact the Earth Sciences department beforehand. Tel. 0191 3342300
