Open University Geological Society

Oxford OUGS is one of 17 branches of the Open University Geological Society. The Oxford branch covers Oxfordshire, Berkshire and North Wiltshire.  Check out the OUGS Branches page for locations and web sites of the other branches.

The aims of the Oxford branch and the society are to organise a variety of field trips to venues both locally and throughout the UK, to support the local and national membership in their study and enjoyment of Earth Sciences and to keep the branch membership informed of our activities and findings.  We also have a number of lectures each year in Oxford and Reading.

New and prospective members are welcome to join us for any event throughout the year and you don't have to be a geologist to enjoy our trips....just keen or interested in the world we live in and never be afraid to ask questions, trips are also learning experiences.
