U3A Event – 3 Billion years of Earth History
Cockermouth U3A Geology Group invite members of Cumberland Geological Society to their next zoom meeting to be held on Monday, 23rd November 2020 at 1.30 finishing at 4pm.
Antartica: 3 Billion Years of Earth History
The illustrated talk will be given by Professor Mike Hambrey who has worked as a field geologist in Antartica for many seasons with the New Zealand Antartic Survey and British Antartic Survey. Since retiring from his academic work he has returned to the Antartic on many occasions as a lecturer and field trip leader on specialist cruises to that area.
The zoom meeting will follow the format of our meeting last month. The meeting will open at 1.30 pm allowing time for folk to join, adjust computer settings etc and get settled in. Mike will start his talk at 2-00pm.
I hope you are able to join us for what promises to be a most interesting and informative talk.

Announcement
At the moment we intend to proceed with the AGM at Cockermouth FMH on Wednesday 25th, and the President’s Address which will be “THE GEOLOGICAL EVOLUTION OF THE CANARY ISLANDS”.
There will be a Special General Meeting incorporated into the AGM to consider an amendment to the Constitution. In light of the current situation, there will be no refreshments served and we expect those attending to observe all the advice regarding dealing with the corona-virus.
If the situation dramatically changes we will postpone the meeting until appropriate and this will be publicised via the web-site. Members can also contact me on 01768 895743.
The planned social event mentioned in the newsletter i.e at Hundith Hill on April 8 is CANCELLED. Any cheques already sent will be returned.
There is no change planned for the Excursion Programme at the time of sending this message but as always, consult the web-site for any alteration.
On the positive side, the issue of our new-style publication “The Cumberland Geologist” (replacing the title Proceedings) is imminent and we hope will be available at the AGM.
