Dear Geo Curators

I am sending this as a reminder of forthcoming events in the GCG calendar.

There will be further information soon about the mineral course at 
Oxford University Museum and a full programme will be published via the 
Geo-Curators maillist.

GCG Workshop - The care and conservation of mineral collections.
18 October 2011
Oxford University Museum of Natural History
Practical advice on the care and conservation of mineral collection, 
from one of the UK’s leading authorities, Monica Price.
For further information contact –. Steve McLean, Great North Museum, 
Newcastle upon Tyne, NE2 4PT. 0191 222 6765, [log in to unmask]

I am just compiling the programme for the AGM event in Leeds and again 
further information will be posted as soon as it is available. If you 
are interested in speaking at this event please do get in touch.

GCG Seminar and 38th AGM - Storage, sorting and documentation of 
geological collections - good practice & practical solutions
6 & 7 December 2011
Leeds Museum Discovery Centre, Carlisle Road, Leeds, LS10 1LB
This two-day event includes a visit to the recently refurbished Leeds 
City Museum as well as the Leeds Museum Discovery Centre.
For further information contact – Steve McLean, Great North Museum, 
Newcastle upon Tyne, NE2 4PT. 0191 222 6765, [log in to unmask]


Please also find attached information regarding an additional event to 
the year's programme which will take place at the World Museum Liverpool 
on 2 December 2011. This is of course very close to our scheduled AGM in 
Leeds on 6 and 7 December, but the opportunity arose at short notice to 
collaborate on this with Liverpool and we thought it would be of 
interest to members (and indeed non members)

Please see the attached programme and contact details (Phil Phillips at 
Liverpool is leading on this) and book with Phil if you are interested. 
I would also encourage you to circulate widely as I am sure the seminar 
will be of interest to non-geologists as well.

Many thanks

Steve
