18th October 1999.
We are arranging a programme of (short) after-dinner speeches. This is all subject to last-minute change, but we're expecting our main speaker to be Clive Westlake (president, 1966) who is one of our more well-known cavers; cave diver and cave photographer; and still seen lurking around Greenclose from time to time. He will be supported by Nick Thorne (President, 1978) and Dave Brindle (President, 1982) and one or two others, who are still trying to squirm out of it.
All those who pay a deposit will be sent a final newsletter later this week, with information about our "programme of events" - caving, walking, afternoon tea, slide show etc.
The following people are coming. Total 110
Doug Astill, Andrew Atkinson, Jenny Bell [Moss] +1, Olly Betts, John Bowers & Gill Mould, Peter Bowler, David Brindle, Chris Brookes, Vic Brown, Charles and Geraldine Butcher, Duncan Collis, Anthony Day & Julia Bradshaw, Chris Densham, Andy Dolby, Jeremy & Jane Drummond, Joe Duxbury, Trevor Faulkner, Dave & Henri Fearon, Mark Fearon, Doug Florence, Clive George, David Gibson & Ann Whilding, John Gillett, Alexandra Graff-Fearon, Jo Greaney, Judith Greaves & Paddy Gaunt, Julian Griffiths, Julian Haines +1, Dave Harrison, Fay Hartley, Julia Hawkins, Andy Hawkswell, Andrew Hawton, David Hayes, John Heathcote, John Hibbert +1, James Hickson, Dave Horsley, John Hunt +1, Tess Jones, Juliette Kelly, Pete Lancaster, Becka Lawson, Jont Leach, Rod and Carole Leach, Peter Leigh, Joe Lenartowicz, Sam Lieberman, Gillian Lindsey, Peter & Fran Lord, Mike Martin, Bob Mathews, Mark McLean +2, Earl Merson, Mike Pigram, Nick Procter, Nick Reckert, Mike and Tina Richardson, Steve Roberts, Sarah Robinson, Jeremy and Christine Rodgers, Tony Rooke, Tanya Savage +1, Rob Shackleton, Chris and Sue Sharman, Phil Shields, Mark Shinwell, Phil Shuttleworth, Gail Smith, Paul Smith, Steve Smith +1, William Stead, Mike Thomas, Nick and Helen Thorne, Julian Todd, Phil Townsend, Pat Trelogan, Helen Twelftree, Jack and Muff Upsall, Ben Van Millingen, Andy & Mary Waddington, Patrick Warren, Clive Westlake, Terry Whitaker, Noel Williams, Wookey, Geoff Wyss.
