- Abstract
The history of the FNCV Geology Group from 1880 to 2005 is presented. This includes an account of the origins of the FNCV Geology Group, the geological activities in the early days and the competition with alternative geological forums for members. A case study is given of the involvement of Charles Brittlebank and the FNCV in the elucidation of the Bacchus Marsh glacial sediments. This paper provides detail of notable geological contributors to the FNCV such as TS Hall, Frederick Chapman, ED Gill, Tom Hart, Alf Baker, Jack Douglas, Neil Archbold and Noel Schleiger; it finishes with a description of recent activities of the group under the leadership of Rob Hamson.
