Please accept my apologies that some members have been charged excess postage costs for delivery of the October Newsletter. If you would like your postal charges refunded please call me on 01822 853268 or e-mail info@dartmoorsociety.com.
Despite checking at the Post Office before posting, we have found that the charges have been applied at varying rates and in some cases the newsletter was delivered without excess charges.
The newsletter can be retrieved from the Post Office in person, or you can arrange for re-delivery online - details are on the card left by the postman.
I apologise once again for both the cost and the inconvenience incurred.

| Animal | Number | Event |
| Pony | 10 | Killed |
| Sheep | 12 | Killed |
| Yearling | 1 | Injured |
| Cow | 1 | Injured |
The 9 animals killed in 2009 on the B3212 Yelverton to Princetown road shows a 40% reduction on the 1999–2006 average of 15 a year. This may be due to the traffic speed management signs some of which are monitored by the National Park Authority.
Apart from the fate of the animal concerned, hitting a large object does considerable damage to your car, so please drive at a speed appropriate to the conditions and drive particularly carefully on unfenced roads.
Dr. Keith Strelling collated the information provided by Graham Colton, Peek Hill Farm, Mark Cole, Yellowmead Farm, Mary Alford, Moortown Farm and Philip Abel of Higher Godsworthy. Thanks to all concerned.
