-===== J-RAT'S BEQUEST ===== 
- 
-In the weeks leading up to his death, Tony Jarratt very generously donated his remaining stock of the fourth edition of "Mendip Underground" and Herbert Balch's classic "Mendip - Its Swallet Caves and Rock Shelters" to the Mendip Cave Registry and Archive. It was Tony's wish that the books be sold by the MCRA to raise funds for the publication of a fifth edition of "Mendip Underground". The MCRA will fulfil Tony's wish in the next 2 to 3 years and will dedicate the new book to both Tony and Dave Irwin, his co-author for the third and fourth editions.  
- 
-The sale price for both books has been fixed at £5 each. The two books can be bought together (while stocks last) for a discounted price of £9.
