WINTER 1989/1990 NUMBER 40
EDITORIAL
May I wish all our members a very happy New
Year. I would like to thank everyone who has
contributed articles and reports throughout
last year and Sheila Leswell -for her behind the
scenes work of typing and drafting the
Bulletin.
As you will have received your 1990 Programme I
hope you will agree with me that the events and
venues are as varied as ever, which for me is
the main reason for being a member of the Field
Club.
I have been reading some of the old Bulletins,
given to Margaret and me by Mildred Parker, and
have found them fascinating; in fact I will be
including some of the articles in future
editions. In this issue I have chosen the
report of a storm-petrel in Epping Forest in
1956.
I hope to involve every nature reserve warden
and countryside ranger in Essex in the Bulletin
by asking them to contribute articles on the
history and natural history of their area.
Finally, the war cry of every editor: remember
that this is the members' Bulletin and every
member can make a contribution be it learned
