Firstly, thanks to the folk who have been in touch to amend their E mail address details.  Hopefully everyone should get this now. If you know anyone who isn’t on the mailing list let me know.

Jane has been informed by Steph Carter , LDWA membership secretary of the death of Susan Tarr. I have no further details other than she was a member of South Pennine. Her number was 31229. If anyone knows her personally, can they pass on our condolences?
