- great progress towards new County Floras, new Viola and Euphrasia handbooks;
- New Journal of Botany going from 2 to 3 issues each year and awarded Journal of the Month;
- BSBI News - still the members' favourite reading material ;-)
- successful exhibition and country meetings, outdoor meetings, and recording weeks;
- excellent Recorders Conference and Training the Trainers;
- local recording groups forming and growing;
- BSBI contribution to the State of Nature;
- winning Best Stand Award (Conservation) at British Birdfair;
- the former 'Plant Unit' going from strength to strength;
- new BSBI videos;
- Brenda Harold's new on-line botany course;
- sterling work by Committees and all.. four... of our Country Officers!
- lively debate at BSBI Council;
- Jane Houldsworth, our new Head of Operations;
- a dynamic new BSBI President at outreach events, on internet Q&As, co-chairing Meetings & Communications Committee, still co-refereeing all orchids apart from Epipactis, still getting out in the field whenever he can. and very effectively being one of two Presidents called Ian in 2013!
