I've merged two threads. Hopefully, it doesn't make the discussion above too garbled.

Anyone else missing their Cactus World or is it just me?
They've always come separately Zoom.
On the home page, bottom left 'Bradleya' article I read it does say. "This will be distributed to all BCSS members with the society's journal, Cactus World."
But Tony R points out the date below so that makes sense.

For clarity, As Bradleya is 40 this year the Editor (George) and I discussed how this could be celebrated. It was agreed that a conservation special edition be created and I proposed to the BoT that as the subject is so important that we should send a copy to all BCSS members and also have some extra copies printed to highlight the plight of our plants for when we do displays to the public.

Mine came yesterday and I am looking forward to a good read.

Just wondering if there's anybody who haven't received this special edition? I was half expecting for it to arrive with my cactus World, but no sign of it 🤔

I haven't received both. But I live one north sea further, so I guess it is still on the postal canoe peddling my way.

If anyone in the UK and ROI hasn't got one by now then it is worth chasing it up .... (tu)
