Too late, you missed it events

Gabriola Historical and Museum Society/SHALE

APOLOGY: Talk at The ROXY July 23, 2010, & boat trip July 25 were cancelled by the museum because of insurance issues. Sorry about that.

Orginal notice: There is going to be a boat trip to Valdes on July 25 to see the cliffs there. The erosion patterns in the sandstone are quite spectacular. There is also going to be a slide show at the ROXY on July 23. This is both a pre-trip talk and for anyone with an interest in sandstone and its geology.
