Membership and resources

Membership and meeting attendance

You are very welcome to join us at any time.
Members have widely varying levels of geological knowledge, ranging from enthusiastic amateurs, to post-graduates and people who have worked using their geological background.  Although based in Huddersfield, members come from as far as Wakefield, Leeds and Oldham.  You will see from our programme we are interested in furthering our knowledge in all areas of geology.
For Talks we meet at 7pm for a 7.15pm start. Check the Talks page for location information.
Membership is free you just pay for the talks & fieldtrips you attend but you need to complete the form at this link https://tinyurl.com/HGGForm to become a member.
You can pay for the whole year of talks in one go for £25 or  just pay the £5 when you attend a talk.
We hold field trips in a variety of locations both local and further afield.  Most are at the weekend with an occasional mid-week day/evening.  We charge £5 for a half day and £10.00 for a day paid in cash at the time of the visit.
There is usually one weekend away in the spring or early autumn.  Examples of past weekends have been Berwick, Lake District and North Lincolnshire.   Weekends away usually incur additional accommodation costs and meals, often self-organised to suit your budget.
If you have any questions please email secretary@huddersfieldgeology.org.uk  for further information or come along to one of our meetings. Click to see a copy of our:
