Appendix 9

Membership in 2025

These are statistic data collected by the Secretary in May 2025. The data is taken from membership records for current members and from replies from members to a short questionnaire sent by e-mail by the Secretary to about 70 members. The questionnaire was not sent to members who don’t use e-mail and not all members replied. The questionnaire asked open questions and the author has arranged them into categories. Some members volunteered additional information. The percentages in the results have been rounded to the nearest whole number. The original replies have been deleted in accordance with the HGS Data Protection Procedure. Members were asked for the following information – age, qualifications, geological qualifications, reason for joining the Society, what they most enjoy and their specialist geological interest. Their replies have not been retained in accordance with the Data Protection Policy.
