Winter Programme 2023-2024

For this season, presentations for the Section will be live, in theatre, at the Leicester University campus, from whence they will be broadcast on-line via Zoom. There is a reciprocal arrangement between ourselves - LL&PS Section C - and the Warwickshire Geological Conservation Group - WGCG - to share presentations. Those arranged by WGCG are so annotated. Most presentations are available for Members to view on YouTube; some are restricted for Members only. Non-members are directed to our Membership page - the Yearly subscription (September - September) is very modest.
