A full programme of meetings is here listed without travelling too much further south than hitherto. However, I must state at the outset that, for a variety of reasons, I may not be able to attend all of them during the coming months.

A look at the coverage map of tetrads with fewer than 200 species may suggest a number of places that we could go to closer to the border. However, another look at the relevant map will show that RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall and RAF Honington and their attached married quarters etc occupy many of these tetrads. In addition, having tried for two or three years without success, I have given up on the Euston Estate and one or two others as it is obvious that out of county applications for permission to record the Suffolk flora are not received with any great enthusiasm from landowners.

I hope the meeting places selected from the map will be suitable, though in almost all cases, we shall be moving on.

All meetings are on Saturdays at 10.30, finishing at about 16.30.
