History of NEGS

​

• The North Eastern Geological Society was formed in 1971.

• The original members had attended Durham University and WEA Adult Education classes on various aspects of geology and landscape, and who wished to pursue their interests beyond the class programmes.

• Today, the society has grown to over 80 members of all standards and generations and has a dynamic lecture and field trip programme.

• The lectures hosted by NEGS cover a wide variety of topics, this includes everything from local geology to extra terrestrial geology.

• Meanwhile, the fieldtrips explore the broad and exciting geological history of the northeast, which is of significant importance to those interested in the oil and gas industry of the UK.
