Mesemb Study Group Bulletin 26/1, 2011

Post by topsy »

Hi All,

As promised the first Bulletin of 2011 was mailed to all paid up members yesterday, I took them to the Post Office myself, and they were collected from there at 5.00 pm. It will be interesting to find out whether the European members receive theirs before the UK members do.

There are 6 colour plates, but don't look on this as the norm, it was just that it was difficult to know which pics to leave out.

Enjoy, Suzanne Mace

Mine arrived too & seed order already posted.

Loved the colour pictures. As someone who is quite new to Mesembs & only interested in Conos at the moment, its seeing pictures of other Mesembs that can only serve to whet the appetite.

Thanks for all your hard work Suzanne, I love the jouranl.

Cheers
Al

Hi All,

I am surprised some of you got your Bulletins today, you do realise that this is second class post! Perhaps it is sending items first class which delays them? Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Suzanne,
If the stamp or the envelope had said 2nd class on them , I don't think anyone would have got theirs the day after posting. Once again, many thanks for all your hard work.
