The Education Committee continues to put together a programme for members (and visitors), taking
account of the uncertain times.
On a positive front we can confirm that Zoom lectures will continue until April, with an intention to extend
these monthly as necessary or desirable in the absence of anything else.

We would hope that a normal “in-house” lecture programme can be resumed in September.
Field activities will be revived once conditions allow, and basically, we are hoping to resume with the
programme we had lined up for 2020. This will include any or all of the following:
Nottingham Caves
Wren’s Nest (with BCGS)
Blockley Quarry (if allowed)
Apedale Heritage Museum / Biddulph Grange
Residential trips currently on hold, but with leaders still available to take them forward:
North Lincolnshire
Mendips (?August 20-22)
The Saturday Workshop
Event is now deferred until February 2022.
Updates will be circulated via emails and on the WGCG website.
