INDEX TO VOLUME 3
At the end of this edition of the Bulletin, for the
benefit of members who file their copies of the Field Club Bulletin, Bryan
Hughes has prepared an index to Volume 3. It is hoped that this will be of
help in locating previous articles which have appeared over the last three
years.
THE BRUBSTER PROJECT
In this edition of the Bulletin we include the first of
two articles relating to the Brubster project which was carried out by
members of the Field Club in recent years. It is hoped that further
articles will appear at a later date.
