I always see rock clubs, workshops or outings mentioned by those who live in America however England doesn't have many rock clubs.
There are a fair few people who go out and actively collect fossils but not so for minerals, certainly not enough to merit a lot of groups.
I know America is obviously a lot bigger but still, I wonder why?
Are the specimens better quality, easier to come by and more accessible over there vs UK?
In all honesty until recently I don't think England was a very "hands on" place hobby wise for the majority, not in comparison to the US anyway.
We have had a resurgence of all things crafty and diy, it's cool now where as before it wasn't the norm for most.
