Geoff Felix just rang with the distressing news that Pete Maggs has lost everything in a house fire. He himself suffered from smoke inhalation but is OK, having been rescued through a window by the fire brigade. There will probably be more information on James Arnott's PunchandJudy Facebook page.
Our good wishes go out to Pete. What a dreadful thing to happen at any time, never mind in the middle of the Summer season.
