MEMBERSHIP/ Important! Please update your MyGSL
At the AGM on 25 June 2021, Council approved the proposal to introduce new Fellowship categories. The new approach uses a career-based model rather than the previous age-based categories model. The goal is to become a fairer Society for all.
To ensure you receive the correct renewal price and information, please check that all your personal details are accurate and up to date in your MyGSL account.
Log into your MyGSL via the website or follow these 5 easy steps. |

SOCIETY/ Pass on something wonderful!
Recent times have prompted many of us to reflect on the things that matter most and have reminded us of the value of planning for the future.
Remember A Charity Week runs from 6-12 September, offering the perfect opportunity to consider leaving a gift in your will. Even a small amount can make a huge impact. A gift in your will to the Geological Society could help us to advance Earth and planetary science for the benefit of humanity for generations to come.
If you’d like to receive our information pack and find out more, please contact our Head of Development Jenny Boland - jenny.boland@geolsoc.org.uk |
