Dear all,
In the past people became members of MDSG by attendance at the annual
meeting. We propose to change this arrangement by asking all attendees at
future meetings to formally join the MDSG and to open up the group to
encompass people who cannot attend the annual meeting but still wish to be
associated with the group. The main advantage of this arrangement is that
MDSG will be able to create a database of members, their interests and
contact addresses which will give us a stronger base for lobbying the
interests of the mineral deposit community in Britain and abroad.
Membership of MDSG will cost a nominal sum (see below) which will be
deducted from the registration fee for members attending the annual meeting.
The abstracts for the meeting and past meetings along with contact numbers
etc for members will only be available to MDSG members and will be accessed
from the MDSG Web page. This system will go on-line towards the end of the year.
MDSG will be hosting a drinks reception on the last evening of the SGA/IAGOD
meeting in London (Wednesday 25th) and there will be an opportunity to join
MDSG there and also at the annual meeting in Burlington House in January.
Those who can't make either meeting can join by filling out a membership
form and sending it to either Sarah Gleeson or Jon Naden (see website).
Cheques should be made out to the Mineral Deposit Study Group.
Subscription for MDSG
Ordinary member £10.00 stg
Student member £ 5.00 stg
Note: This money will be deducted from registration fees for attendees at
the MDSG annual meeting
