Programme
Welcome to the 40th 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. It would be good to see everyone at some time and of course great to see those of you who are regular attendees. At present most meetings are planned to be held at West Blatchington Windmill but due to Covid this may change. Two of our lectures this year will be held online using Zoom software which means we can invite speakers from further afield. I look forward to seeing you in person or online. Please check website or emails where changes will be announced. Our meetings will still start at 7.30pm.
