If it was green(ish), didn't move and grew on a rock or a tree, Brian knew what it was. He was also a keen caver and NLNG Committee 2011 climber. His loss is all the more reason for us to find new, younger and active members for the society, and new Chairman Mike Moon members for the committee. Secretary Stefan Hobbs Jim Thomas says he has given his last report on bugs and Programme Sec. Jennifer Newton beetles, so it looks like we may have a further vacancy for a recorder, and we still need a recorder for bees and wasps; so Treasurer Chris Workman plenty to do!
