About ERMS meetings

What happens at an ERMS monthly meeting?

• Twice a month, we meet at either
  • Shenfield Parish Hall, Shenfield or
  • Tollgate Hall, Stanway, Colchester
• We listen to a presentation by an invited speaker
• Sometimes we have 'Hands-on' meetings where members have the chance to learn some of the techniques used by real geologists
• We look at and discuss specimens of rocks and fossils bought along by members of the society (Play and Display)
• We have a cup of tea or coffee and a jolly good natter with our friends

​What happens at an ERMS monthly Zoom meeting?

• We each log into Zoom with the link that is sent out by the secretary.
  • Most of us do this from our own homes, but with a smartphone, you can access the Zoom meetings from anywhere
• We then view a presentation given by an external speaker
  • This is usually someone who is presenting from a long way outside of Essex
  • We record the presentation and upload it to our own YouTube channel (ERMSVIDEO)
• After the presentation we ask questions, and otherwise have a jolly good natter
