Equally unfortunately I have no idea where the TSG logbook from 1985 might be. I have digitised copies of three of them from the past, but none sadly cover that date range. Scud did the scanning of these I think, so he may be able to furnish more info.

Unsurprisingly the Sheffield Star online archives only go back to 2001. Apparently the City Library has microfiche copies.

Britishnewspaperarchive doesn't seem to have anything that recent, but does have articles on Pooles Cavern from 1857 & Bagshawe in early 1900s.

Presumably the Grantham Journal would be a good place to look, but no idea where you'll find a copy (apart from local studies centre).

I'm pretty sure the Sheffield Star article was pasted into the big leather bound Log Book. Most of the major TSG/CDG discoveries from the 80s are also recorded in it.

I've just checked my collection of newspaper cuttings in the bottom drawer but I don't have that one. I'll be seeing my mum at the end of the week and I'm pretty sure she has everything ever published in the Sheffield Star that had me or my friends featuring in it. She regularly pulls out a newspaper cutting she's just found inside a book. 

I would like to get hold of an electronic copy of that particular Log Book if possible??
