Parker Please bring a packed lunch to field meetings and inform the leader that you are coming. If you require a lift or can offer one to others then let the leader know in plenty of time so that arrangements may be made. Any member or visitor may attend any meeting. Children are welcomed at outdoor meetings. Leaders, please let the Bulletin Editors have your reports as soon as possible after the meeting. Ideas and suggestions for the Summer programme are welcomed by the General Secretary. Members on the Tiptree Heath meeting in July may remember a small silk coccoon attached to a grass stem amongst heathers. A photograph was sent to Miss Finch, our recorder for spiders, who informs me that it is indeed a spider coccoon probably made by Agroeca brunnea. The coccoon was unfinished and would soon be covered with various small debris to look like a bird dropping. Ron Allen.
