Programme

Meeting Programme for 2025-26

Our lecture season this year will reflect last year's in that we continue to meet at the West Blatchington Windmill, Holmes Avenue, Hove for our face-to-face talks, but will reserve the dark and possibly wintery months of December and January for Zoom presentations.  This is firstly a cautious approach, and secondly it allows us to continue to seek speakers from further afield than our usual reach, broadening our geological subject areas too.  So, I hope you will enjoy our programme and bear with us as we adjust our arrangements to suit conditions. We will review these arrangements each year.

All our lectures begin, as always, at 7.30 p.m., usually on the first Wednesday of each month. When face-to-face at the West Blatchington Windmill I would be grateful if members can arrive in goiod time to take their seats.  PLEASE NOTE that because our first meeting is so early in the month and that we do not meet on Bonfire Night, our second lecture is on 29 October.  Tea and coffee will be available free of change before and after the meetings.  Guests are very welcome.  Please remember to sign the Register Book. Our lectures last for about an hour and there is always time for a good question and answer session afterwards.  We usually close the building around 9.30 p.m. Details of connecting with our Zoom presentations will be circulated by email before each meeting.
