A Tribute: Maurice
Askew
The tragic and untimely death last Monday of Maurice Askew, a former
joint master of the Badsworth and the Barlow Hunts, and a Board member
of the Countryside Alliance, has shocked and saddened everyone who knew
him.
I worked
closely with Maurice during my time at the CA, as he did most of the
printing for the organisation (at cost or less), and he was an active
member of the Hunting Committee. Nothing was too much trouble and
he was always willing to help. His
enthusiasm for and commitment to hunting were absolute. He was a
great speaker, passionate rather than polished, and he inspired everyone
who heard him. Our sincerest
sympathy goes to his family and friends. He will be very sadly
missed. Janet George
