The Records Committee have been working hard to process nearly 500 Unusual Record Forms (URFs) over the last six months. This means that the 2007-08 and 2009-10 Annual Reports can be completed. We now hope to publish the 2007-08 Report before the end of this year, and the 2009-10 Report by end March 2012.
The latest status of all URFs is attached in this Excel File
http://www.geoffwelch46.com/URF110905.xls
The File lists new and old species number, species name, date of record, location, name on URF, status of URF and comment. Status of URF may be
Awaiting Circulation - in the system but not yet circulated
In Circulation – currently being reviewed by the Committee
Held – currently being held awaiting further information
Accept – accepted
Not Proven – not accepted. ‘Not proven’ does not mean the record is incorrect, it only means that the evidence provided does not prove the record beyond reasonable doubt.
Please note the name on the URF is not necessarily the finder’s name. Also some members may be surprised to find their name on a record. This is because the record has been taken off the website using photographs and other details submitted there. Also some of the names are those used on the website, where the individual’s actual name is not known.
If you have any comments on your records, wish to add anything or correct mistakes, tell me your real name or anything else, please contact me on my email address
