Events

Participation

Events are open to non-members who wish to try out the society. CGS field trips are open to the public and while we try to ensure safety for all, participants are responsible for themselves and should consider whether they are able to take part.

Excursion Information and Hazard and Safety Measures

Digital On-Line

We are hosting some meetings via the Zoom application. This works on compatible computers, tablets and smartphones, provided that you have a reliable internet connection.  It is also possible to dial in via telephone and use the meeting codes to join, although it is not possible to see any presentation material with this option.

Presentations and lectures start at the advertised time so please login to the meeting a little earlier.

In Person lectures

The venue for in-person lectures is included in the event information. Tea, coffee and biscuits are included.

In-person lectures are recorded live, and the recordings are available after the meeting here for members unable to attend.

Get Involved

If you wish to organize a lecture or event the Events Secretary is here to help. Just send a message to our coordinator who will be happy to help.
