We meet once a month on 4th Tuesday between 10am and 12 noon. We hire a room for the meeting.
We are a group of mainly enthusiastic amateurs but include several members who took higher education in geology, geography or engineering. For the meeting mobility is not an issue. The venue has access for wheel chairs. Those who can or wish to join the very occasional field trip, escorted tour of suitable venues do so.
Group members currently pay £15/year to pay for room hire.
Tea or coffee and a biscuit are available at the meetings for a small contribution.
There are 11 meetings a year. A programme is organised by the coordinators for talks, videos etc given by members who volunteer their time.
The Group coordinator communicate to the group members generally by Email
We meet at St Mary’s Handbridge Centre, Overleigh Road, Handbridge, Chester, CH4 7HL. This meeting facility offers WiFi, projectors and audio equipment included in the hire price.
There is a car park. If other activities are happening at the same time then the car park can be busy, so car sharing or public transport may ease parking congestion.
We can accomodate some new members The group could expand to 35 members
The group coordinators are Jane Harrap, assisted by Tony Stevens and Jane Harrap.
