GENERAL NOTICE:
Due to rapidly changing Government restrictions following the COVID-19 outbreak, and bearing in mind the age profile of our membership, it has been decided that we must suspend ALL activities until further notice, as from today 16th March.
Attempts will be made to resume when the opportunity is made available - watch this space. If in doubt, use the 'Contact' button above.
Further . . . End of May, 2020
The lockdown is being partly eased in early June, but after due consideration, NEGS activities remain SUSPENDED. There is a letter from the Chair HERE
We have our fingers crossed for a resumtion after Christmas, but at present it is looking unlikely to happen before then.
Details of meetings of our sister organisation the Yorkshire Geological Society are available on their site at http://yorksgeolsoc.org.uk
Note, posted 12/03/2020: We have just been informed that the planned meeting at Leeds University on 'Deep geological disposal of radioactive waste', Monday 30th March has been postponed due to concerns over the Covid-19 virus. Further details should appear on the Yorks site (above).
Two useful Field Guides (Northumbria and Yorkshire) have recently been made available in digital form on the BGS site.
