About Us
Situated in Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada, (the City of the Arts) the Port Moody Rock and Gem Club provides facilities and events for those interested in both the exciting hobbies of lapidary, faceting, and rock hunting and geology and earth sciences in general. Founded in 1978, the Port Moody Rock and Gem Club is a member of the British Columbia Lapidary Society, the Gem & Mineral Federation of Canada, the Port Moody Arts Centre Society, and ArtsConnect. Lapidary is the art of cutting and polishing semi-precious and precious rocks and gemstones. Our various workshops provide you with the tools needed to create stones for both jewelry and display. Field trips are generally held once a month at sites across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. Our membership typically meets the last Thursday of every month (July, August, and December excepted) at 7:00 PM at the Port Moody Arts Centre for our general meeting. Our membership also meets twice a year in July and December for a potluck dinner. Our 2009 meeting schedule is as follows: Thursday, January 29th 7:00 PM – 9:30 PM Board Room If you are attending our meeting for the first time, please contact us in advance to confirm the time and place. Our Annual Rock and Gem Show is held in October of every year at Kyle Centre in Port Moody. This event includes the display of members' work, dealers, silent auction, and crafts and games for the kids. Our club constitution and bylaws are available online.
