Each year one of our lectures aims to support our primary objective:
To encourage awareness of geology and related subjects, to people
of all ages and backgrounds within the East Hertfordshire area.
The lectures are on subjects of interest to people with no knowledge of geology, as well as to geologists.
We have welcomed some high profile speakers, who we ask to nominate the charity to which
profits from ticket sales and raffle are donated.
