We have a series of events coming up.    If anyone from the Huddersfield Geology Group would like to volunteer to help at the Rocky Roadshows they would be welcome.     We need a few people each time to man the display and identify some rocks/minerals/fossils and talk to the general public about geology.     Times have not been decided for most of these events, so please phone Alison on 01484 608004, if you are interested in coming, to find out fuller details nearer the time of each event.

The next meeting is on Friday 8th February in Burnley.

The title is "The last glacial stage (the Devensian) in N.W. England" and the speaker is Catherine Delaney from Manchester Metropolitan University.

Meet at 10:30 at the visitor centre ready for the tour of Robin Hood's Cave at 11:00.    This will last at least an hour.     The cost of the tour is £4.75 for adults and £3.00 for children over five.     Children under five are not able to come into the cave.     Robin Hood's Cave has evidence of ice age activity which relates to the formation of the gorge and crags.     There is a small museum and bookshop at the centre.

After a picnic lunch near the centre we will take a short walk around the limestone gorge to look further at the geology of the limestones.
