The Friends of Iziko Museum have asked me to lead a GeoHike along the Promenade later this year, after my annual overnight trip for them to Robben Island, set for 5th and 6th April this year.
Â
A few weeks ago I spoke on The Geology the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station to retirees of the Blaauwberg University of the Third Age (U3A). 100 attended in the beautiful Milnerton Public Library.
Â
On Monday, 11th March, I shall give a lunchtime talk to our Groote Schuur Probus Club on GeoTourism in Great Britain and Ireland, based on our 2013 and 2019 pre-Covid trips.
Â
On Monday afternoon, 26th March I shall speak on my book at Sea Point Place.
Â
I have just given the go-ahead for Rob Gomm, of Rob Print, to print a second suite of my book for my Waiting List of 14.Â
Â
However, 10 of the copies were ordered by former UCT Geology student, Peter Dillon, who grew up in Fish Hoek, and now works in Qatar as a marine geophysicist and lives near Shannon Airport in Ireland.
Â
Few are buying the PDF version.
Â
On 9th May, I have been asked to give my talk on the 1969 Ceres-Tulbagh Earhquake and the 2023 Turkish Earthquake to U3A Tygerberg.
Â
The George U3A want me to drive to George to give that talk there. I have agreed, in principle, but no date has been set yet. Probably June. Fourth outing for that talk.
Â
On Saturday, 17th February, I took the Alex du Toit Lecturer, Professor Chris Heubeck from Jena in Germany, a Barberton expert, along Tafelberg Road and along the Contour Path at the request of Craig Smith.Â
Â
Chris had taken two student trips to the Sea Point Contact over the years, so we skipped that. Charming man, who loves fieldwork.
Â
All for now.
