The club has produced bulletins annually since its inception. In earlier times there were four editions a year, but these tended to be small and gradually the Club reduced the production run. Firstly, three numbers per year were produced, then two and finally the Annual Report became the single platform for formally recording our activities.

The more recent years have also seen the production of Special Series Publications which concentrate on specific components of the wildlife found in the Valley. These are written by one or more members with special expertise, assisted by expert referees who are not Club members, but have a local or national reputation in the fields concerned. These publications have considerable value not only for the membership in general, but also for specialist readers and researchers.     Publications

The year 2013 sees the practice of making past editions of the SANDNATS bulletin available continue, with the addition of the 2007 Annual Report to the list of those already available for general use.

We remind our readers that these reports contain a good deal of copyright material. This is usually indicated in the text where the artists and/ or photographers are named. Most of the photographs and many of the line drawings fall into this category. If readers would like to make use of such items for purposes other than their own personal study, they should contact the Bulletin Editor,   mikebloxham@talktalk.net   so that appropriate permissions may be sought. The Committee of the Club and the Editor also request that any information taken from the Bulletins and used in another publication should be formally acknowledged.
