Earth Discovery Sessions

We are fortunate to have been invited to meet at Brunel University four times per year, and this is generally on a Tuesday afternoon, 2-4pm (check Events List for planned dates). We welcome anyone who is interested (16+) to join us for these themed discovery sessions. Our members bring specimens from their collections, there are poster displays, lighthearted activities and refreshments!

There is no charge but it is essential to register. Just email contact@hhgs.org.uk to express your interest and we will send joining instructions.
