STOP PRESS! – Latest news – Wednesday 19th February 2025

Following a very successful zoom meeting at the Club with over 40 in attendance to watch Dr Dave McGarvie, an honorary research fellow at Lancaster University, take us on a journey into the amazing world of “Volcano mysteries – and how to survive them.” Thanks must go to him and also our Technical expert Stephen Lumb who watches through half closed eyes waiting for the connection to fail!!

Next up, our own member Lee Thompson will be centre stage on Mon 3rd March when he talks to us on “The World’s Most Secretive State – A Trip Inside North Korea.” Given the current political situation with Korea and Iran supporting Russia in their invasion of Ukraine this should be fascinating.

Two weeks on from that on 17th March we welcome two members of Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust whose topic is Wild Sheffield.

Underlining the wealth of knowledge within the club, Alan Spears will be describing “What Geology did for us in Sheffield” on Mon 21st July, architect Robert Guttridge will be talking to us on “The many iterations in the building of the Hallamshire Hospital” on 4th August and our new secretary Colin Peskett will be outlining “the History of Peak Rail” on 15th Sept.

Our 2025 Annual General Meeting has been confirmed for Monday, 12th May.
