About our Branch

We are the Gogledd Cymru (North Wales) Branch of the Open University Geological Society.

The aim of our branch is to promote greater understanding of the geology that you see through field trips, lectures, town walks and a sharing of knowledge and expertise. To help us achieve theis we enjoy liaisions with the North Wales Geological Association (NWGA) and both NEWRIGGS and Gwynedd and Môn RIGS, (voluntary organisations that are dedicated to preserving our geological heritage).

The Gogledd Cymru Branch is a relatively new branch, being formed in 1997, and our members mostly live in an area covering Powys, Ynys Môn, the North Wales coast, the Wirral and the south side of Manchester. Our field trips are planned to reflect the enormous geological diversity found within these areas. We also join forces with other areas to arrange field trips and members often attend nationally and internationally organised events and usually report their experiences back through the Branch Newsletters.

The Branch produces 5 newsletters each year, which inform members of forthcoming events and reports of events.

Details of events from our branch or others can also be found by looking at the events diary or by logging on to our online calendar.

To join an event, please contact the webmaster.
