REPORT OF THE COUNCIL FOR 1971 61
presented with a book in recognition of his long association with
the Group. At the Club AGM, Mr Glassborow in his presidential
address outlined some of the features of the early history of the
Club. The March meeting to Tollesbury was attended by some
54 members and friends while the Geology Group Weekend visit
to Derbyshire filled two hotels. In June the Mammal Group held
a highly successful mass badger watch followed by a barbecue
of old English delicacies. The President's meeting to Bradwell-on-
Sea was also well attended as was the visit in August to Skipper's
Island. A successful Brains Trust and Natural History Competi-
tion was held in Chelmsford and it is hoped that further meetings
of the Club will be held here.
Publications
Volume 32, part 4, of the Essex Naturalist was published
under the Editorship of Mr E. Pinniger. Three issues of the
Bulletin were distributed in the Spring, Summer and Autumn,
the Autumn issue being the start of tho second year of publica-
tion.
Publicity
In order to promote membership of the Club, a new folder
to include an outline of the Club and a form of proposal of mem-
bership is being produced, the design being by our member Mr
R. Jones. It is hoped that this will be available later in 1972.
In conclusion the Officers and Council of the Club would like
to thank all those who have contributed to the well-being of the
Club during 1971, especially those who have led meetings and
contributed to the publications.
