Editorial

by Stuart Gough

A slightly reduced Argus comes to you this summer, an edition that whilst containing no field meeting reports, it does cover last years butterfly season in some depth. This is down to the Annual Report and some of its annexes, as provided by Rob Parker. As you will see, the majority of the copy for this journal has been written by Rob, my thanks to him for coming up with the goods during the quiet months.

Adjacent to this editorial you can find an amendment to the 2006 Field Meetings, passed to me by Alan Johnson, our Programme Secretary. I have regrettably had to stand down from the editor's role, with only two editions completed. Largely due to the fallibility of it being easier co say yes than no, when asked to take on the job in the first place. Consequently Mike Dean has asked for any volunteers, with both the time and willingness to take over the job, to contact him (details on back page) for details. •
