Ave Cavers!
Welcome to a packed issue of the BB.
Well firstly I would like to thank everyone who, through
their prestigious use of tactical voting kept me in the position of BB editor.
Once again I offer my apologies to the committee for not attending the 2007 AGM
due in part to circumstances beyond my control.
I must pause here to thank the BB editorial team i.e. Jrat
and Henry B for polishing up this (e)steamed organ before it goes to press.
Their skill enables most of my mistakes to be ironed out making me look better
than I am
Although some do slip by, namely:
Master Audsley has asked me to point out to fellow followers
of the bat that there is an error in BB528 in the Caine Hill article, I quote,
the photo of a bod at the bottom of the shaft is named as Dudley Herbert, it
should be Mike Thompson.
The editorial team have been delicately chastised, six of
the best trousers down. Me included.
Lastly, heres wishing everyone a splendidly fine Christmas
and a Happy New Year.
Yer Ed.
Look out! Its
. The Committee
To bring everyone up to speed heres how the new committee
looks.

The Hut Engineer will be Henry Dawson but due to the mechanisms of the constitution we could only appoint an existing committee member. Toby Maddocks was placed here but will not function in this role.
