the local council). The second is a warning that you will be seeking an order from the local
magistrates and the third is an application to the court for a Litter Abatement Order. This
one costs £5. I have just been through the first two stages with the London Borough of
Havering regarding a long abandoned allotment site. They have started to clear it as I write
but they have a lot more to do. I will keep you posted.

When the current EFC Library formed part of the Passmore Edwards Museum library,
copies of the Essex Naturalist were exchanged for around 25 different journal volumes
from other societies. When the EFC acquired the library from the London Borough of
Newham, apart from the fact that we could not afford to send out so many free copies of
the Essex Naturalist, most of the journals received in exchange were irrelevant to Essex
or our current membership. Your Council therefore decided to restrict exchanges to the
equivalent journals from surrounding counties, plus the British Journal of
Entomological & Natural History. In addition to the latter, we now exchange for:
Suffolk Natural History and Suffolk Birds, The London Naturalist, and Nature in
Cambridgeshire. To this list we have now just added the Hertfordshire Naturalist.
Martin Heywood currently looks after these journals and their back number for the
EFC, and brings them along to the Exhibition meeting so that other members may see
them. Your Council is concerned that these journals may be of considerable interest to
our members, and that some form of reading circle might be more appreciated. For a
start we are suggesting that those interested in the idea might like to receive a xerox or
preferably an email of the contents list of each volume as they appear, so that they are
made aware of any papers that they might have a particular interest in.
If any EFC members would be interested in receiving contents lists for the journals
listed above they are invited to declare their interest by writing or emailing to Ken
Adams. When we have some measure of the level of interest we can decide where to go
from there.
