SUBSCRIPTIONS
Owing to inflation, increase in costs of Publications,
the Bulletin, Essex Naturalist, Programme, Postage, etc.
the Council has recommended that the subscription rates
should be increased. The recommendations were put to a
Special Meeting held on 4th August, 1974 and these were
approved.
Subscription rates have remained unchanged since
1966 and it is now essential that these new rates come
into operation from 1st January 1975, It is hoped that
all members will continue to give the Club their fullest
support by attending meetings, both indoors and field
meetings. Please also endeavour to publicise the Club
and enrol one or two new members.
The new Subscription rates are as follows:-
Annual Subscription for Members £3.00
Pull-tine students £1.00
The second and subsequent members os
the same family residing in the same
house, who are willing to forego 
individual copies of the Essex
Naturalist, may each pay an additional
subscription of £1.50
Affiliated organisations approved by
the Council pay a minimum subscription of £3.00
In order to facilitate the collection of subscriptions, I
would ask every member who pays by Standing Order to
complete the enclosed Bankers Order Form and forward it
direct to their Bank, Members who do not at present pay
by this method are asked to consider doing so as it
greatly reduces the work involved in the collection of
subscriptions. M.T.PARKER
