EXHIBITIONS - Billericay
A three-day exhibition entitled "Leisure
76" staged in Billericay Comprehensive School
from 22nd to 24th April proved a great success.
The Club's effort (on 24th only), thanks
mainly to Ron Allen and Jean Daniels, turned
out to be larger than was at first envisaged.
When Ron made a recce on the previous night
and discovered how much space had been
allocated to us he hastily arranged the loan
of some stuffed animals from Chelmsford
Museum to augment the pictorial display he had
in mind.
The interest shown in the Club's activi-
ties was encouraging and we were kept busy
throughout the day explaining the aims of the
Club, supplying hand-outs and attempting to
answer all the natural history questions
thrown at us.
The Club's sign was cleverly drawn by
Michael Daniels and other able assistance was
supplied by Linda Daniels, Roger Hawes and
Enid Bassom. A few back numbers of the Bulle-
tin were sold to enable us to meet the cost of
the exhibition.

Writtle Agricultural College, Open Day
An attendance of thousands on the first
day of the weekend of 5th and 6th June prompted
the idea of a Field Club stand on the Sunday.
Ian Misselbrook and Ruth Phillips helped build
and construct the stand and were kept busy
explaining the difference between stoats and
weasels or the importance of hedgerows res-
pectively. Several thousands must have come
past the stand since we were next to the plant
sales section that had been well advertised.
