THE ESSEX FIELD CLUB BULLETIN ********* A MESSAGE PROM YOUR PRESIDENT I have great pleasure in welcoming the first number of the bulletin. Your Council decided to start the bulletin after consideration of the replies to the questionnaire circulated to members last year. I know it will help to spread the knowledge of the activities of the various special groups and enable individual members to know about all the Club's activities. I would like to record how greatly I personally am indebted to Roy Masefield for taking over complete responsibility for the bulletin. May I suggest that members can show their own appreciation by providing him with plenty of copy for future numbers. Peter W. Glassborow *********
