EDITORIAL
Our 1984 programme is well under way and I am
conscious of the fact that I meet the same
people out of our total membership of 369 at our
outings and lectures. Despite maintaining the
total numbers fewer of you are attending our
activities. We would like to know why. Is it
that travelling costs are keeping you away or
are we organising the wrong sort of meetings,
or are they in the wrong places at the wrong
times? Please write and let me know so that
we can make any necessary changes for next years
programme.
Once again I would like to thank those of you
who have written articles. Also thanks to
Joanna Foley for the cover and illustrations and
to Sue Boniface for typing this edition.
Sadly, as many of you will know, one of our
most distinguished members has died recently.
It is with deep regret that I have to report
the death of Laurence Harley aged 81, who
joined the Essex Field Club in 1924.
Please note the changed arrangements for this
year's Fungus Foray resulting from Geoffrey
Kibby's forthcoming marriage and departure to
America. We offer him our best wishes for the
future and thank him for his work as recorder
for fungi.
Please let me have articles for the next
edition by 1st October 1984.
