5S
TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE ESSEX FIELD CLUB
Once again it is the lot of the Treasurer
to pass on unpleasant news to all members,
including himself, that membership fees
will have to go up.
I could bore you with stories of rising
costs, hiring of halls, postage, etc., etc.,
but I am sure that all members are intelligent
enough to realise that costs have risen
considerably since the last increase five
years ago.
The Council have discussed the matter
thoroughly and the increases are effective
from 1st January, 1986 and are as follows:-
Members £7.50
Family Subscription £8.50
Students £3.00
Included in the Bulletin is a pro forma
banker's order. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE
fill this in and hand in to your bank NOW
and not tomorrow. This saves enormously
on postage and any reminders which have to
be sent out and saves the Club literally
hundreds of pounds over the years.
Personally, even with the increased sub-
scriptions, this still represents very
good value, especially when there are such
excellent publications as the recently
published Essex Naturalist and the twice
yearly Bulletin.
