Mike Cook

It is with the deepest sadness that we have to report that our long time Show Manager, and the founder of the York Model Railway Show, Mike Cook, passed away peacefully in his sleep on 16th December. The condolences of all involved with the York MRS organisation go out to all his family and close friends, Mike will be deeply missed by all who knew him both in the model railway community and within the many other activities he had been a part of over his lifetime.

With regard to the 2012 Show all arrangements are well in hand and the Show will proceed as planned. We hope you attend next year's 50th event which will now be even more of a tribute to Mike Cook's great input to our hobby over his lifetime.

So long Mike, you were a good friend to me and many, you will be greatly missed. RIP. John New. YMRS Webmaster 16th Dec 11.
