This meeting is a follow on to last year's very successful Family Day. We will be taking short fossil and mineral hunts along the beach from a base (possibly our new gazebo!) where we will have examples of what is to be found, reference books and leaflets and information about the SWGA. We would be extremely grateful for as much help as possible from members to help run the base, give out information, talk to the public and help with the short walks, for as short or as long a time as you
can give.
