The Black Country Geological Society (BCGS) is based in Dudley,
West Midlands, England, in the heart of the Black Country where
evidence suggests the world-changing Industrial Revolution
commenced. The society as it is now, was formed in 1975 but was
preceded by three antecedent geological societies through which
we can trace our origins to 1842, making the BCGS one of the
first geological societies in the world. Our members come from
all backgrounds and include interested amateurs, professional
geologists, teachers, and students of all ages. Our monthly
indoor lecture meetings take place in Dudley Museum and Art
Gallery throughout the winter months, in addition to regular
field trips to sites of geological interest and voluntary
conservation work. The Society warmly welcomes new members, and
the schedule is on the Society’s website. It is always advisable
to check before attending in case of any unavoidable last minute
changes. The Black Country Geological Society has a vast and
exciting history with connect
