Talk by the Rev. Graham Nevin on 'Northern Ireland - the last 100 Million Years'
In the absence of both Club President and Vice President, Past President Graham Kane took the chair, and welcomed members and guest John Tan to the meeting. The President then introduced our speaker for the morning Rev. Graham Nevin, who then set too, telling us about 'Northern Ireland - The last 1000 Million Years’.
The Reverend Nevin (Graham) began his talk by saying that it was a little difficult to compress 1000 million years of geological history into 30 minutes or so, and he was concerned that we may all finish up knowing less about Northern Ireland than we did before the talk begun! The fear was 'groundless' (sorry about the pun - Web Ed) as the former University of Ulster lecturer got into simplified academic mode, giving us all a clear view of history - even if the 'time scales' involved needed some thinking about!
