76 people attended the Geology and Art Meeting on Saturday 11th October. Stuart Jones displayed rocks and fossils from his collection and photographs of Society field trips. We also sold copied of Humberside Geologist and second hand books to raise funds for the Society. Stuart was helped by Ian and Mary Heppenstall and Anne Horne. Anne Horne and Barrie Heaton provided the cakes for the afternoon tea. David Hill proposed a vote of thanks to the speakers and the organisers of the meeting.
At the event the prizes were awarded for the "Aesthetics of Geology" photographic competition. Sixty photographs had been entered and a panel of judges (Alison Field and David and Jean Hill) selected the ones that are on display and awarded prizes. Fraser Briggs and Matt Hopper,the curators of the display, also selected one photograph for a prize and the delegates at the meeting voted to select the winners of the "peoples' prizes".
On behalf of the Society the Secretary would like to thank Anna Kirk-Smith for organising the meeting and photographic competition. Also the staff at Hull School of Art and Design for their help; in particular Keith Clark, Matt Lund and Matt Stephenson for their technical help in the lecture theatre.
There also was an open photographic exhibition at this event: the topic was "The Aesthetics of Geology" Click here for an more details .
