Monday 12 November (Evening Field Meeting and 'social'): Building Stones of Birmingham from the Bullring to Grand Central, led by Julie Schroder. Meet 6.00 for 6.15 by the Bull statue ('The Guardian') at the head of St. Martin's Walk, near the Rotunda. Following our walk earlier this year around the Victorian civic heart of Birmingham, Ray Pratt from the Geol Soc WM group asked Julie to lead another walk, this time around the shops. This walk will focus mainly on the newer developments which have brought some fabulous geology to the retail heart of Birmingham. It is mostly inside - so no need to worry about the weather or the dark! The walk will closely follow the last section of the web-based version of Birmingham Building Stones Trail 3, which you can find on our web site here: bcgs.info/pub/local-geology/building-stone-trails/ There is also a pdf which you can download or print, but the web version has maps, additional photos, and gives more detail of the route we will follow through the Bullring. Following the walk we will retire to a local pub for refreshments. Numbers limited to 20. Booking essential via Ray Pratt from the Geol Soc WM. Text: 07867785779 or email: geostart@btinternet.com
