Publicity requires help 
The publicity ' dept' requests the help of any aeaibers visiting or resident 
in Middle Eastern countries to carry and/ or distribute OSME membership 
foras, particularly if visiting birdwatchiag cores such as International 
Birdwatchiag Center, Eilat, or Sirecik., Turkey. 
If you are considering attending an international conference - 
particularly if doing so as a private individual - contact OSME Council to 
discover if attendance as a representative of OSME can be endorsed. 
If any members feel that they can offer assistance with either of these or 
have other ideas for promoting OSME within the Middle East, please contact 
S. M. Andrews, c/o OSME, The Lodge, Sandy, Bedfordshire SG19 2DL, Great

Notes from the Sales Officer 
After a thorough review of the costs of postage and packing materials, it 
is with reluctance that we have had to increase the prices of a few items 
on the Sales List. On the other hand, we are able to bring down prices of 
a couple of others; so it's not all bad news! 
Sandgrouse 2 is now out of print and the remaining stock of Sandgrouse 3 
is so low that v T olumes will oe sold on a first come, first served basis. 
Bulletins 13, 14, 15 S 19 are now out of print. If there is sufficient 
demand for these, Council may consider reprinting.
