We are passionate about minerals, fossils, lapidary and gemmology. Most of us are collectors, some of us come from scientific backgrounds and others are just really interested in learning about these fascinating subjects. Our membership is mostly the South East of England (Sussex, Kent & Surrey) but we do have members further north and even in France.
We meet each month to listen to a speciality talk, chat, drink tea and coffee and look at the earths wonders, there are often minerals and crystals for sale too. Some of us meet for dinner before the talk, those who are further afield join in on Zoom. The talks are held in person at Haywards Heath during March to October and on Zoom only through the winter months. Members receive six Newsletter's a year.
The club arranges Field Trips in the UK throughout the year where members can learn how to find, identify and prepare self-collected minerals and fossils. The members have vast amounts of experience and knowledge and are always willing to share that with newer members. Check out our Field Trips Gallery to learn more.
The Annual Show is one of the highlights of the year. The show has been going for over thirty years now and is one of the South East’s premium Mineral & Fossil shows.
We enjoy each others company and are a very social bunch! There is also a summer gathering where we can talk more about our passion for minerals, share our latest acquisitions, have a beer and soak up the glorious British Summer sun.
If you are a collector, enthusiast, specialist or just want to learn more we would love you to join us. You don’t have to join immediately you can come along to a meeting and see what we do before committing to membership. Check out the Membership page to find out how to join.
