1. BOBRON'S EDITORIAL Welcome to the Bulletin in this, the penultimate to the Club's Centenary Year! We will shortly have a new President to take us into our 102nd year. Please do try and get to meetings. There are some fascinating ones arranged - badgers, Lower Thames terraces, Mosses and Lichens for Beginners - see p. 32 for summary and Programme Card for further details. Thanks are again due to our many con- tributors, and to Anne Cowlin and Maureen Tolfree for typing the copy and envelopes respectively.
