Annual Society Meeting (ASM)

Every year in April, members meet for the Annual Society Meeting (and AGM) to enjoy field trips, visits, presentations, social events and conversation.

The 50th Anniversary Annual Society Meeting 2022

This year is the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Society, and it is fitting that the ASM will be held in Leicester, the birthplace of the Society. The ASM will take place over the weekend of April 1st-3rd 2022 at College Court Conference Centre and Hotel, Knighton, Leicester, LE2 3UF. More information, timetable and the booking form is available on the member’s page of the website. The latter should be completed and returned by 28th February 2022.

Annual Society Meeting 2021

In 2021 the meeting had to be held virtually so field trips were not possible but members enjoyed two packed evenings and a day of talks, virtual tours and just catching up with friends. The Saturday evening quiz created much hilarity.

Monthly talks using Zoom

The Society has a monthly programme of talks hosted on Zoom. These can be enjoyed by all our members regardless of geographical location and some individuals in Australia regularly get up very early to attend!

Field trips and meetings

All members can participate in an annual calendar of field trips, meetings and presentations that are organised by Branches around the country.

This is a selection of photographs taken by some of our members on field trips.
