AN INVITATION
The Club has received the following invitation from the
Natural History Society of the Writtle Institute of
Agriculture (formerly the Essex Institute of Agriculture):
We would like to extend a cordial invitation to
members of the Essex Field Club to attend a lecture
on 'Wildfowl Conservation' to be given by
Dr. Jeffrey Harrison, O.B.E., M.A., M.B.O.U., F.Z.S.
at the Writtle College of Agriculture at 7.00 p.m.
on November 15th 1972.
As you are no doubt aware, Dr. Harrison is an
international authority on wildfowl conservation,
and is Vice-Chairman and Director of W.A.G.B.I.,
as well as being associated with many other
conservation bodies. Slides to illustrate the
meeting will be presented by Mrs. Harrison, who
is a photographer for several country magazines.
Those interested should send a SAE to Mr. R. Mellors
at the College as soon as possible. Tickets are
limited and only in exceptional circumstances will
more than two tickets be sent to one person.
R. Vernon (Secretary, Natural
History Society).
This will be a lecture not to be missed by all
interested in conservation in general, and in particular
those having an interest in ornithology and wildfowl. The
meeting will be in the main hall, and there will be plenty
of parking space. Buses Nos. 32 and 43 from Chelmsford
railway station stop at Writtle Green, a short distance
from the college.
