Society Discussion Group 2019/2020—All Welcome!
The Geological Society Discussion Group exists to promote discussion in a social setting on a variety of geoscience topics. Our meetings take place in the evening, at a range of different venues in London, when a topical subject is raised by an invited speaker and debated over dinner.
Come and broaden your mind and your network! The meetings are open to all—Fellows, their guests and non-Fellows.
