The Committee

The SCGRG’s Annual General Meeting is held during the RGS/IBG Conference each year. All members are invited to attend this meeting and contribute items for discussions.  Representatives from the SCGRG also attend the RGS Research Group Sub-Committee meeting three times a year.  If you have an item you would like us to raise at these meetings, please get in touch with the chair or secretary.
