Topographical mineralogy, the conservation of minerals and the preservation of mineralogical sites
If you were disappointed not to attend the talks and reminiscences marking our 50th anniversary, you will be pleased to find a link to a recording of it on the Members’ page. This link will remain active until the end of January.
Members can also look forward to receiving a substantial magazine giving many past stories about the Society and its history, which is currently with the printer.
Please join us for an evening of reminiscences, happy memories and funny stories. We’ll be looking back over a fantastic fifty years of mineral collecting, sharing photos and testing your knowledge of the history of The Russell Society and the people that make it special. There will be plenty of opportunity to chip in with your own contributions. If you have any photos you would like to share please send them to Roy Starkey ASAP.
The zoom login will be posted on the members’ page a couple of days before. See you there!
