We are pleased to announce that we will again be holding a dinner to commemorate the day of our founding. The dinner this year will take place on Thursday 11 November, at Le Meridien Piccadilly. The event will begin at the Geological Society’s Burlington House apartments, with a talk given by Chris Stringer from the Natural History Museum, London. We will then move along to Le Meridien for a reception and dinner. This year, Dick Selley will be our after dinner speaker, and will talk to us about events in the history of the Society.
This black tie dinner promises to be our most exciting Founders’ event yet, and although we have extended our capacity at Le Meridien, tickets are expected to be in high demand, so please contact us as soon as possible to book places or a full table, and to avoid possible disappointment.

Lecture, Geological Society's Burlington House apartments
From Paviland to Pakefield: 700,000 years of Homo Britannicus
Speaker: Chris Stringer (Natural History Museum, London)The search for human origins has always been, and continues to be, fraught with issues of identity, race, religion and nationality. This, combined with a palaeontological record that is extremely fragmentary and difficult to interpret, makes palaeoanthropology one of the most hotly debated issues in science. Professor Chris Stringer will trace our attempts to make sense of the origins of Homo britannicus, from Dean Buckland’s “Red Lady” to the present day.
Reception, dinner and after dinner talk at Le Meridien Piccadilly
After the lecture at Burlington House, guests will move along to Le Meridien, Piccadilly for a reception and dinner.
