BRITISH MICROMOUNT SYMPOSIUM

The Society organises the British Micromount Symposium, held annually in September at the College Court Conference Centre in  Leicester. This highly popular event attracts micromounters from all over the country, together with occasional guests from overseas.

The programme includes lectures by members and external guest speakers on a wide variety of topics, together with workshops and practical sessions. Saturday and Sunday afternoons are given over to a mass swap session with many hundreds of micros changing hands.

An auction of specimens, books and mineralogical related materials is held on Saturday evening in aid of Society funds.

An informal social evening and dinner takes place on the Saturday evening.
