19.01.2022 Day 1 of the Southern Rockhounds visit to the Riverland. Spent a few hours at Santos' quarry collecting sand for sand bottles. Then back to the Clubrooms for "Happy hour" and dinner over a few Red Cordials and lots of talk. Off on a dance around the Riverland today looking for all things Rock related and hopefully finding lots of Fossils.

14.01.2022 Sugarloaf Hill trip a couple weeks back. Who said there was nothing to see around the Riverland? Seventeen of us headed over to the area pictured in Loch Luna Reserve on Lake Bonney.

Keep your ears open as they are announced soon. All welcome including Club Friends but need to register, sign on etc. to cover us for insurance. Thanks too to Stuart and Mary for providing the photos

13.01.2022 Stuart, Dennis & Trevor went to the Berri Primary School Expo yesterday afternoon to show what can be expected at the Club. Lots of interest from the students especially in the "Freebees" but also interest from parents. Looking forward to feedback and "visitors" Also spoke to one of the teachers there with respect to having a visit of his class to the Clubrooms sometime in the future. Any other interest? Contact via FB or to Trevor (0419 859 119) and we will see if we can arrange an info arvo

11.01.2022 So Gems & Minerals are not all we do at the Riverland Gem & Mineral Club. Have a look at the recent "Silver smithing" Course ran over the week 19th - 24th October. Heaps of thanks to our GMCASA visitors (Doug & Alan) for running the course. The results are a first try for all the participants and everyone was happy with the results. Also had a "Wire wrapping" course last weekend and will put up the results soon.

10.01.2022 In the light of current happenings we have decided that we will simply close down temporarily (hopefully) No Workshops No Monthly meeting No AGM No Christmas (not really) just no Christmas get together... Keep an eye on Facebook and/or your Emails (if we have it) to see when we re-open please See more

08.01.2022 It might be cold in the Riverland but the club is still running Workshops on Wednesday afternoon/evenings and Saturday afternoons. The gas heater is ready to be fired up inside the Club rooms and the water in the Workshop is heated so not too bad. We can have good numbers in both the Club room and Workshop. Come down Wednesday 5:30 - 8:30pm or Saturday 1:30 - 4:30pm

06.01.2022 The latest news from last nights Club meeting. Firstly we are changing our Wednesday Workshop time for a trial period (March & April) Wednesdays W/S will now be 5:30 - 9:00PM. This is with a view to enabling flexibility for our "working members". So don't come at 1:30pm after next week (26th Feb). Also we are expecting a visit from the Southern Rockhounds for the March long weekend. So we are cancelling Saturday W/S so we can show them around the Riverland. Also all "Key holders" will be unavailable over Easter for various reasons so Easter Saturday W/S is also cancelled. SEE YOU SOON
