NON-OUGSME EVENTS

Please note, although OUGSME recommends these trips, we do not organise them. For details, please contact the organiser directly.

Main OUGS Events:

18 — 20 August 2007: Symposium, Lancaster University.

Any member of any branch can attend any event of any branch. For a list of all available OUGS events consult the Events Diary in the latest OUGS Newsletter or click on to www.ougs.org. Each person attending field meetings does so on the understanding that they attend at their own risk. The OUGS has Public Liability Insurance Cover for field and indoor meetings but Personal Accident cover and Personal Liability cover remain the responsibility of participants. Members with house insurance will probably find this included. Members should also note that they will be required to take out appropriate travel insurance for any overseas events; an annual travel insurance may be the best form of cover for any member who regularly attends field events.
