Unfortunately, the Southern Branch committee has had to cancel the Society’s Moon’s Hill Event planned for 10th June due to logistical difficulties. All members that had expressed an interest in the event have been contacted by the committee.

Reaktion Books are seeking someone who would like to write a small non-technical book simply called ‘Stones’ and which, not surprisingly, is about the collecting of different minerals and rocks in the form of stones. To use their words: “A book by a collector with a philosophical and aesthetic interest in stones”.

Ideally they are hoping for someone such as a cultural historian with a secret passion for stones. If this is of interest to you or perhaps someone you know, then please contact them at: info@reaktionbooks.co.uk
