Technical issues
We apologise for the ongoing issues with our online systems which have caused problems logging in to the MyGSL portal and ordering from the bookshop. Work with our third-party suppliers has taken longer than hoped, but we continue to work to restore our systems. In the meantime thank you for your patience.

SOCIETY/ Review of our bye-laws
Council has approved a review of the our bye-laws – the rules that govern much of how we operate. The current bye-laws are over 20 years old and much has changed during that period. The review aims to ensure that the Society’s key instrument of governance reflects modern organisational standards.
Visit the website to read the current bye-laws and to find out more about the review.
Please email byelaws.review@geolsoc.org.uk if you have any questions or comments.
