ISBN 978-0-473-12216-4 Acknowledgements The idea of having this brief history written was conceived by Gwen Struik and made possible by writing and publishing grants to Friends from the Lottery Grants Board, Environment and Heritage committee. Interviews were held with Gwen, and with former and current committee members Patrick McGrath, Noel Matheson and Steffan Browning. Initial research by Simon Horrocks, including interview notes, proved very useful in piecing together the formative times of Friends. Comments on the initial and final drafts were canvassed from former and current committee members Frank Boyce, Roger Bray, Duncan & Jane Harris, Henk Heinekamp, Pam Lambert, Doris Reynolds, Margot & Peter Syms and A.E. (Tony) West. The sections on sewage and aquaculture were reworked to include more detail by Gwen and Steffan.
