(on a) Life Support Machine


This page is my tribute to Howden Enders everywhere, and in particular those two jolly chaps (you know who you are lads, take a bow) who edited LSM, the Caley fanzine, for 17 issues, and, maintaining their independence and refusing to be "bought", embarrassed the Caley committee and players from late 1990 to the bitter end in May 1994.

In no particular order I present to you a selection of articles, photos and cartoons, witty or otherwise, that give a flavour of what it was like in the Howden End in the early nineties. Keep checking for updates.
