The plan to is to scatter Tony's ashes at two venues, Londwood/August cave and Swildon's Hole.
For those who would like to attend the timings are as follows.
For Longwood please arrange to be at the cave at 11.00am. There are three approach options. From Cheddar Gorge past Black Rock, this is currently pretty muddy. From Velvet Bottom, longer but not so muddy. From the normal Water Works road, shortest approach but pretty muddy and slippery up and down the hills, as well as on the very limited road edges - better to park at Charterhouse Farm and walk over from there.
For Swildon's please arrange to be at Priddy Church Hall/Upper Green at 1.00pm.
A reception will be held at the Hunter's from 2.30pm onwards. Those unable to attend either of the cave venues will be welcome.
As parking is somewhat at a premium please arrange for cars to maximise passenger numbers in an effort not to cause a problem and draw unwanted attention.
Denise has asked for anyone who may have anecdotes or personal experiences or photos with respect to Tony, if they wish to, could they provide a copy for her to add to a scrapbook she is creating in his memory.
She also has asked whether anyone would like to say a few words at either of the venues. Can you please let the MCG know if you would like to do this, so that I can coordinate this?
Finally, if anyone wishes to wear helmets at either of the venues as an indication of respect to Tony's caving days, that will be fine.
