NEWSLETTER NO. 6 April 1993
EDITORS NOTE
Thank you to Del Smith for his work as Editor of the Newsletter. He has handed
editorship over to Peter Harvey and items for the Newsletter should therefore now be sent
to Peter Harvey at 9 Kent Road, Grays, Essex, RM17 6DE.
Thank you also to those members who have responded to requests for items to the
Newsletter. I would continue to ask members for contributions. There must be lots of
interesting observations and information that would be worth sharing with other Field
Club members.
The next Newsletter is planned for the end of July. Contributions should be with me by
mid July please.

There will be an opportunity for members to view these collections and the library at the
Special Meeting on Saturday 8th May and there will be a guided tour and discussion of
the work of the Museum at the Special Meeting in the evening on Wednesday 9th June.
Please come along and help make these first meetings to the Museum a success.

other times by arrangement with Colin Plant, Assistant Curator at the Newham Museum
