GMSVP

Gem and Mineral Society of the Virginia Peninsula Our meetings are held the first Thursday of each month except June and December at 7:00 pm at Sandy Bottom Nature Park in Hampton, VA. The December meeting is replaced by a pot luck Christmas party/banquet at the normal meeting time. The park closes at sundown but the gate off Big Bethel Road is left open on our meeting nights so people can get to the meeting. New information is in the fieldtrip page.
