Note to Field Meeting leaders. We apologise for leaving the final decision to you but hope you will appreciate that this approach allows us a flexibility that we would not have if we were to cancel all meetings for an indefinite period. When deciding whether to hold a meeting, the Society asks you to take into account local sensibilities as well as any restrictions that may be in place. If in doubt cancel the meeting. If you need further advice please contact the Field Meetings Secretary, or if he is not available the Society's Hon.
Contact numbers are on the meetings programme.
Note to members in general. This may be the season to concentrate on urban entomology. Our apologies for keeping you waiting for news of the situation of Abernethy with reference to the foot and mouth situation. There are strict precautions on entering and leaving the reserve, and local people are apprehensive of visitors coming from outside the area, particularly from infected regions. It has been a cold late spring in the Highlands and the higher paths of the reserve are still deep in the snow.
