Encouraging participation and widening knowledge of geology in the North East of England since 1971
WINTER EVENTS 2024-25
LECTURES
The society normally arranges a series of lectures (given by professional or academic geologists) on geological or environmental topics in the winter months (October to March). Once a year there is an event where members have the opportunity to give their own short talks or demonstrations to the rest of the society.
Anyone interested in joining the Society is welcome to attend a lecture or two as a visitor, to find out more about who we are and how we operate. Just turn up - or contact us first to confirm subject, dates, times, etc.
Venue
Lectures are normally held at 7.30pm in the Arthur Holmes Lecture Theatre which is located at the Durham University Science Site on South Road. The lecture theatre is in the Department of Chemistry and is downstairs from the Porters Lodge.
As we resume after Covid, plans for face-to-face meetings will continue to follow this pattern.
Lectures, when we are able to resume normal practices, will be followed by tea and coffee to which all speakers, members and guests are cordially invited.

Google Maps: Problem beyond our control. The map above actually shows the way to the Calman Lecture Theatre. The Arthur Holmes Lecture Theatre is nearby. Go 100 metres East, 60 metres North, in through red doors and downstairs one level.
If you are able, you might get a better result from What3Words. The entrance door is at ///found.fast.olive . That reference should act as a link - try it.
