Bill Gaskarth announces a new website

Bill Gaskarth (Chartership Officer) announces a new website feature – Scrutineers describe their work for the Society in their own words.


GaskarthApplications for CGeol continue to stay healthy, and those for CSci are increasing. The Chartership Committee therefore is looking to add to its list of Scrutineers for both of these titles from among existing Chartered Geologists and Scientists who have held the title for four or more years. 

The commitment required is for no more than one day a year, to interview candidates normally at a venue in your area. Notes describing the Scrutineering experience have been produced by three of our current Scrutineers, and these are now to be found on the Society’s website (link below). Here also you will find the short application form to become a Scrutineer.

  • Scrutineers under scrutiny: Scrutineers
  • For further information on becoming a Scrutineer, contact the Chartership Officer E: [email protected]; or T: 07916 138631.
