Many more field meetings have been added to the events pages, with 23 currently scheduled between now and the end of the year. This schedule now includes the Botanical meetings. Many members will be aware of the recent and sudden death of Clive Lovatt. Clive was an enthusiastic field botanist and several of these meetings had already been planned by him. In respect for Clive’s memory, Clare and Mark Kitchen have arranged to run these meetings as well as the walks they had planned themselves. Dates and venues have not changed.
