Dear CGA member,

This year, the Committee would like to encourage greater participation in the CGA journal and in this regard we would very much welcome articles from the membership.  Articles should be on a topic of geological interest and can range in size from approximately 500 to 2000 words  Photos, including geological photos from your travels with a caption, are highly desirable – after all a picture is worth a thousand words!  So get your thinking caps on and if you wish to write about a geological topic of your choice, then please do so by Friday 18th December, the closing date for submissions.  Please note, editorial responsibility will fall to the Committee.

Please address all correspondence in this regard to:-

Cork Geological Association

Indeed this is the preferred method of submission, if at all possible.
