Foreword by the President

There were so many articles submitted for this bulletin that at least one has had to be held over until the next edition. Don’t sit back on your laurels though, we still need to know what everyone is getting up to. As always the scope of the articles is astonishing and some of the adventures make compelling reading.

One of the most interesting facets is the mixture of historical and contemporary articles – on the one hand we learn of devious doings on the crags in the 1930’s (still, if it was good enough for Professor Collie it’s good enough for the YRC), and on the other we have YRC members once again active in Yorkshire cave exploration. All this variety makes for a most stimulating Bulletin.

One plea – you will notice the large number of meet reports in this edition as compared to the last. Please, meet report authors, try to get your works of art out early so they make the next available Bulletin. Who knows, you might even remember what happened on the meet!

Enjoy your reading,
