Welcome to the home page of the University of Glasgow Exploration Society. The Society exists to help students organise and conduct mainly scientific expeditions to all parts of the world. We give guidance on aspects of expedition organisation such as fund raising, safety and first aid. All matriculated students of the University are eligible to join the society and we actively encourage those from outside the sciences. Membership is £3 per year for students and £5 for staff. We hold two meetings a year, the first, in October, is the Proposals Evening where those planning expeditions present details and invite applicants. The second meeting, in February, is a Report-back Meeting where the expeditions from the previous year report their results. To join the Society contact the chairperson or look out for our stall at Freshers Fair.
This page is respecfully dedicated to one of my greatest friends in the world and a friend of many Dundee, Glasgow and Newcastle University Expeditions to Trinidad - Mac Supersad or as he was better known Mr Mac. Sadly Mac died some time ago and I'll never again be able to take students to the best wee rum shop in the Caribbean - The Verdant Vale. Thank you Mac for the good company, the tales, the cook-ups and all the free Puncheon Rum, your good friend, Long-hair Stewarty.
