Ave Cavers!
As they dont say in France, Happy New Year.
Ah a new year full of cave shaped possibilities.
But I must start on a sad note by mentioning the death of
Harry Stanbury. With his passing the BEC has lost its founding father. I never
met No 1, a regret I will have for the rest of my days but his influence will
live on, not least in the form of the Belfry Bulletin, which he also helped to
create. At times like this, it is a signal honour to be holding the post of
Editor.

Just to show that the fame of the BEC spreads ever further I
included a mention of our esteemed club in the final paragraph of an article I
penned for the Daily Express (Egad! I know I wont make a habit of it, I
promise but they pay well) in December last year as a bit of publicity for my
latest tome in which, I should say, the BEC gets a mention or two as
well.
Daily Express,
December 18th 2006
Ive been led to believe that the paper is read by 900,000
a day so thats nearly a million more people have heard of us now. The editor
of that rag even went to look up who we were on the Web. If there were a yearly barrel for fame then
wed win hands down!
