It is with the deepest regrets that I report the death of Roy Holmes. Roy passed away Tuesday 6th September in Lancaster Hospital.
I have been caving with Roy for over 30 years now and together we have made some small progress in exploring the caves in Dentdale.
Roy spent a period as chairman of CNCC back in the 00s.
Roy was an active member of CRO for over 50 years, receiving the 50 year Long Service Award in 2018. He was an underground controller for several years and carried out a period of the chairman of CRO.
The funeral will take place at Skipton Crematorium at 3 pm on Monday 19th September. The location of the wake to follow is yet to be confirmed but I will let you know where it will be later.
I would be grateful if you would let me know if you plan to attend so we can get an idea of the numbers attending and book the correct catering. Could you please email me on pete [at] pearlhillfarm.net
