Foreword by the President

This, the third issue of The Yorkshire Rambler will I hope be the best to date.  The articles range from a 1937 fist ascent, via the reopening of Grey Wife Hole, to Nepal, plus some poetry and both sides of the ‘should we have women in the Club’ controversy.  I can’t wait to read that one.  Also included are the meet reports, hopefully as up to date as printing deadlines will allow.  There have been comments made that the advent of the Bulletin has meant that meet reports are not received by members as regularly as previously.  This may be so but the other side of the coin is that we are getting a publication which is acting as a catalyst for members to record their own and the Club’s activities on a regular basis.  This is certainly preferable to receiving a journal every five to six years.  Even the obituaries are being produced more or less to time.

Finally, no foreword would be complete without our sincere thanks to the Editor for putting all of it together.  Only previous Editors can appreciate how time consuming and demanding his job is.

Have a good read!
