Welcome
The North West branch covers an area from Cheshire up to the Scottish Border
and includes the Isle of Man. There are almost 260 members in the branch at
the present time. We are an active group, holding many field trips throughout
the year and some lectures and social events during the winter months.
If you are new to geology, one of the best ways to gain experience is to come along to the
field trips where you will not only see things in their natural state but also meet and learn
from other members. If you are a more experienced geologist we look forward to any input you
are able to give..
Over the past years our field trips have taken us to many parts of the
British Isles, and occasionally the opportunity to visit more exotic geological areas such
as Iceland, Italy, France and Hawaii. As well as providing interesting, enjoyable trips
we hope to provide useful practical experience for those involved with geological studies.
