We are a small and friendly group who meet on the 4th Monday of every month in the Chiltern Room at the Village Centre, 10.30am to 12pm.

Our meetings are generally face-to-face with a guest speaker talking about some of the many aspects of Archaeology & Geology. We also encourage group members to participate by telling us their own experiences of the subject with photos and artefacts, and perhaps producing a presentation using the projector in situ in the Village Centre's Chiltern Room.

Are you are interested to hear the story of the ground beneath our feet and the life of our early ancestors? New developments in science and technology are bringing ever more detail and better understanding about archaeology and geology to light, changing what we know about our planet and how our ancient ancestors lived. Come along and join us in hearing about these fascinating topics!
