Wren’s Nest Trip 18th August

A field trip, with TVGS joining with the Black Country Geological Society–thanks BCGS–Saturday 18th August, arrangements:

No restriction on numbers – Graham (Worton) is happy to take as many as want to come. 
Meet at 1000 at Mons Hill Campus, Wren’s Hill Road (post code DY1 3SB, see Streetmap http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=393553&y=292233&z=0&sv=DY1+3SB&st=2&pc=DY1+3SB&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf
The tour should finish around 1230
Lunch 1230 – 1330.  I don’t know what your Society usually does for lunch – they are very welcome to bring a packed lunch to eat at the Wren’s Nest, continue looking at the rocks, hunt for fossils, etc.  There are a few pubs in Dudley, but I don’t know any of them to make a recommendation.  I wouldn’t recommend The Caves just down the road
1330 – 1530 Graham will give a guided tour of the geology collection at the Dudley Museum. http://www.dudley.gov.uk/leisure-and-culture/museums-galleries/dudley-museum-art-gallery/collections/,   Graham will be able to advise on the day re car parking in Dudley
There is also the Dudley Canal Trust nearby, which operates 45 min boat trips through the limestone caverns, your members may be interested in http://dudleycanaltrust.org.uk/

Enjoy if you go–the Martley Show is on the same day so some of us will be there not here, if you see what I mean
