One last word. For many years I've kept in mind the
words of Linnaeus: "No wise man will dare say any longer
that those are doing no good or waste their time, who, by
collecting mosses and flies and contemplate the wonderful
works of the Creator, do teach us how to turn them to their
appointed use."

KEW CLUB MEMBERSHIP FORMS
The Club has had printed a supply of new membership
proposal forms. These have an attractive design on the
cover, depicting the many activities of Club members and
drawn by Bob Jones of Chigwell. Inside, they contain a
short account of the Club, membership proposal form and
banker's order form. These will be available from the
Secretary for members to distribute amongst friends and
prospective new Club members.
Members can also help by putting posters advertising
the Club in public buildings such as libraries and village
halls.
Thanks to the efforts of Kevin Byrne of Dagenham, the
Club now possesses display boarding suitable for erection
at events in Essex, such as Town Shows, Horticultural
Shows, at libraries and museums. These will be available
from the secretary, and members are asked to suggest events
where they may be used. They were first used at the
Danbury Horticultural Show in June this year, and will be
used during the Harlow Town Show in August. The boards
consist of six panels, each 3-ft by 3-ft. 6-ins. which bolt
together either rigidly or hinged. Display material is
available for them, showing the activities of the group.
The boards may also be used for general natural displays
should the need arise.
