About Us

The Manchester Geological Association welcomes new members. Anyone with an interest in geology can join the Association at any time. We were formed in 1925 to bring together professional and amateur geologists in and around Manchester and have recently celebrated our Centenary.

We are actively involved with the conservation of key geological sites in the area and have a strong relationship with the Greater Manchester GeoConservation Group – GMRIGS. We organise field excursions during the summer months to places such as the Lake District, Scotland, Peak District and North Wales. In the winter we hold monthly lectures by expert speakers at the School of Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences at the University of Manchester, where we also have access to a library of geological books and maps.

We also join other local Geological Societies for their lectures and field trips. Our Quarterly newsletter gives full details of these trips – and other news – and is emailed to members.

Manchester Geological Association is registered as a charity (Charity No. 500532).
