Hong Kong Regional Group's 10th Anniversary Dinner
Fellows of the Geological Society and guests celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Hong Kong Regional Group (HKRG) in style on Friday the 18th of November. The occasion was marked by a dinner at the Hong Kong Football Club, where we were very fortunate to be joined by David Shilston, the GSL’s President-Designate, along with the Society’s Chartership Officer, Dr. Bill Gaskarth. David gave us an entertaining and thought-provoking presentation on the history of the Geological Society and the continuing relevance of the Society’s founding constitution.
The HKRG can look back on the last ten years with pride, having arranged numerous meetings, fieldtrips and conferences; maintaining professional standards; promoting the role of geoscientists; liaising with related professional bodies; and facilitating mentoring and scrutineering for chartered geologist candidates in Hong Kong.
