Your Bulletin.
The Field Club Bulletin has had a somewhat chequ-
ered history with a variety of cost cutting efforts
and change of printers, but it has almost always been
well received and supported by the membership.
Members may be interested in the production of this
and the last issue.
It has been up to the joint editors to prompt and
cajole likely authors for articles and we have been
pleasantly surprised by the amount of material that
comes in of its own accord,so to speak. Once the material
is in it requires reading, checking and typing before
one starts to think about printing. The last issue was
cut onto stencils and duplicated by Mr Smith one of our
members. Meanwhile a carton of envelopes was distributed
to two other members who addressed them all. Duplicated
sheets and envelopes then came together at the home of
Mrs Daniels along with a number of helpers who on an
ad hock assembly line collated the pages, stapled them
in the middle, folded them, added the loose sheets and
finally put them in the envelopes. The Post Office very
kindly stamped them for us.
This issue has been done slightly differently. The
Editors again collected or wrote the material and then
one of them spent a weekend typing them out on a borrowed
typewriter onto A5 paper ready for camera at the Boudicca
Press in Chelmsford. The printed sheets by the time
you read this will have been assembled and posted in
much the same way.
Neither of the editors are typists and they are
sure that there must be a skilled typist within the Club
who could give some assistance. Similarly neither of us
are artists and we require illustrations for the cover.
Similarly we need the use of a living room and a cont-
uous supply of tea and coffee to sustain the assembly
crew. If you can assist in any of these ways the Editors
would be most greatful. Please keep the copy flowing
too, legible handwriting is fine.
