The Club is open to all grades of interest in geology. Since 1984 the Club has grown considerably and welcomes professional and amateur geologists alike and caters for     all ages, everyone is welcome to join. Field interpretations of the various chalk beds Cherry Hinton East Chalk Pit, Cherry Hinton, Cambridge Throughout the year we hold monthly lectures which cover topics of local geological interest as well as those of a more global nature. The Club is actively involved in identifying sites of geological interest throughout the county of Cambridgeshire and takes a keen interest in the preservation and conservation of these sites. If you would like to participate in these field interpretation visits please give us a call, we need as many volunteers as possible to assist in our various programmes.   We organise field trips during the summer months and our recent trips have included the Mendips, Malvern Hills, and the Suffolk coast plus many local day trips organised by the committee members.   The creation of this website is one of the latest initiatives of the members and we hope to provide much information on the local geology of Cambridgeshire, and information on our field trips and lecture programmes.

We hope that whatever your geological interests are be they on the rocks, minerals or fossils there is sure to be an interest here for all to share. So please come along, join the Club and help to promote the awareness of the geology and landscapes of Cambridgeshire.             James Gay, geological sites team leader for Huntingdonshire District studying some erratic boulders.
