Very Sad News About Lenny Nunn
I am sad to report that Lenny Nunn passed away on 20 January, 2024 and our condolences & deepest sympathy go to his wife, Jean. Lenny was a well liked member who had been with the club right from the start in 1977, thus being a founding member. He worked at BIP and then Hydro as did most of the early members of the club, and for many years he never missed a walk. He made a massive contribution to the club’s operation (especially raising money through the annual Xmas draw), always offering help and advice and will be fondly remembered for his sense of humour, boundless energy and enthusiasm for walking. He hasn’t been on walks recently, in part because he was helping to care for his mother in-law, who is over 100 years old, but just a few days ago ago he told me he hadn’t had a drink in two years and would soon be returning to walk with the club and he was saving himself to have a drink with us again. The picture below shows him enjoying a pint in Whitby following an AFWC walk along the Yorkshire Coast in 2004.

Website being moved to a new server
Dear users,
I will have to move your website to another server. Once moved, there will be a short period where image uploads may not work. This is due to the fact that the domain is being transferred to an entirely new server and that change needs to propagate throughout the internet. In most cases, this takes a few hours, but it can take up to 24 hours.
Please allow time for this to happen.
Thank You.
Dave (webmaster)
