We should have that West Yorks meet up before you leave to Say Hello &
Wave Goodbye. I appreciate you will be busy and have many things on
your mind so I'll leave it up to you. There have been mootings of a urc
rendezvous at the velodrome before Christmas, perhaps you can make
that.

Given the regularity with which new estates are built on the flood
plains it comes as no great surprise. A significant proportion of St

You can see quite a few places like that. If I lived out that way I'd
want easy
access to a boat on the roof of the house - for emergency use! I've got a
video
from the UEA film archive which is about the 1953 floods. It will happen
again
sometime.

Comedy placename candidate: Ramsey Heights. It's actually directly on
the 0 metres contour line!

My brother in law farms near Ramsey and claims that a fellow farmer near Ely
discovered that part of his land was above the 50 foot contour, so he
applied to DEFRA for a hill farm subsidy.
