Welcome to the 25th year of the Brighton & Hove Geological Society. You will find below the list of lectures and events which have been planned for the coming months and I do hope that you will find plenty to interest you. PLEASE NOTE THAT 4TH NOVEMBER IS A TUESDAY! It would be good to see everyone at some time and of course great to see those of you who are regular attendees. To those people who have recently joined, perhaps I should remind you that our meetings are held in West Blatchington Windmill, Holmes Avenue, Hove, and start at 7.30 p.m. Tea and coffee are normally available from soon after 7 p.m. so please do your best to arrive in good time.
You will also find within these pages a reminder slip to pay your subscription and I know our Treasurer Colin Whiteman will be very grateful to receive payments sooner rather than later.
