It is with great sadness that I must report the death of Mike “Fish” Jeanmaire. Fish passed away peacefully at home last Tuesday after a long illness. He was well known to many MUSS members in the late 70’s & early 80’s for the wild parties he & Liz used to throw at their home in Peak Forest. Never one to miss a party, he & Liz attended the MUSS 50th celebrations, despite his breathing problems

I will let you know details of arrangements as & when I receive any. I spoke to Wendy Williams last night & she told me a little about J Rat's funeral & what is happening at conference w.r.t. Tony.

A token gesture of a pre-dinner caving trip - Ingleborough show cave. Meet in Bernies at 10 along with the "hard cavers" (and Grovel). Back in time for Liz and Lank's walk if keen enough for two activities in one day. Alternatively back in time for an afternoon of pre-dinner socialising down the pub.

The Mills family and the Ruggs are going to do a shorter walk, starting a bit later than Phil's walk. We're meeting at Stainforth car park at 2.00pm and plan to walk along the river and back round the village. Everyone welcome. So, ideal for anyone wanting a later start and/or a short walk on the flat. We may of course bump into Phil's crowd en route which would be nice. Looking forward to seeing

Bad newsWe intend going caving, or at least going through the motions, that is:-Getting to Bernie’s at around 10 to 10:30.Eating breakfast.Reading the papers.Looking at the nice new shiny equipment in Inglesport’s window.Checking whether there is a football match on the telly.Then someone will spoil it all by asking “When are we going caving?”Current plans are . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . .

For those nimble enough to walk can I propose a route? Starting at Saturday lunch time the same as JC's bike ride; let's say 12.30 to 1.00pm at the market place cross in Settle, opposite the Naked Man, for the walkers. This is a social walk leaving puff to talk. It is a tweak over 7 miles, so probably about 3 to 3 and a half hours. I am suggesting starting by going up and along the Ribble past

Dear MUSSers, As I am too fat to cave & the knees won't stand walks, I intend to do an off-road bicycle route starting / finishing at Settle on Saturday before the Dinner.Perhaps a 3 hours outing starting lunch time.All welcome (well not everyone, obviously)!luvJC (John Cope / MUSS circa 1967-)johncope@pcm94.fsnet.co.uk
