Token of Appreciation on behalf of YGS

A massive THANK YOU from the Yorkshire Geological Society

John Peate, a member of the Society, and Regional Geologist of Hanson Aggregates, has for many years been an outstanding representative for Hanson in supporting numerous geological activities in Yorkshire and particularly through this Society. These notably included sponsoring the presentation event for the Adam Sedgwick book written by Colin Speakman and co-published by the Society, also arranging survey support and access for a number of research projects in the Yorkshire Dales and most recently allowing field excursion access to Horton Quarry.

John shortly moves on, within the Hanson organisation, to a new posting in the USA, for which we wish him well. In September, John Knight, Vice-President presented John with a framed copy of the 1821 William Smith map of Yorkshire with appropriate engraving to express our thanks and appreciation.
