What we do

A geological field trip

A geological field trip

Our meetings consist of talks by a group member or guest speaker, or visits to places of scientific interest. Each meeting is planned to cover a specific subject. Questions are encouraged as we go along to increase understanding. We welcome tackling any subject a member would like to raise and our interests range widely.

Past subjects have been '600 million Years of Cumbrian Geology' by Mike Dewey one of our Group members, 'New Light on Light' by Professor John Inglesfield and a group study on 'Future Energy Sources'.

We have also visited the Lambrigg wind farm, the Windermere sewage works and the Windermere aquarium.

New members would be very welcome.
