Field Trip Description
A wonderful opportunity to collect fossils from the Upper triassic rocks (200 million years old) at Manor Farm, Aust. Fossils are very abundant and include the teeth of sharks, reptiles and very occasionally dinosaur bones. The leader will bring part of his collection of fossils, collected at the Manor Farm site, for all to see. A geological information board has been installed at the site.
Meet at 10.30 a.m. at grid reference ST 574896. We will investigate the site in the morning and it is hoped that in the afternoon some conservation will be undertaken. Please bring spades, etc. Hard hats essential. For more information please contact Simon Carpenter tel. 0117 9779616 or email [email protected]
Important Notice: Bath Geological Society Insurance
Each person attending a field meeting does so on the understanding that he/she attends at his/her own risk. The Bath Geological Society has Public Liability Insurance Cover for field and indoor meetings, but Personal Accident Cover and Personal Liability Cover remain the responsibility and personal choice of the participant.
There may be an element of appropriate cover included in house insurance or in travel insurance: although Bath Geological Society activities are not particularly dangerous members are advised to check whether exclusions apply to activities in which they plan to participate in case they wish to arrange further cover. An annual travel insurance may be the best solution for any member who regularly attends field events: this again is a matter of choice.
Please note however that all members participating in overseas events will be required to have travel insurance for the duration of the event: this is so that participants are covered for Medical, Repatriation and Personal Liability expenses. The Personal Accident element remains the personal choice of the member and again members are advised to check exclusions so that they can make an informed decision about the cover they want.
