Christmas Dinner – 6th December
Everyone is welcome to the Xmas dinner. Alex Heath has put together a planning sheet so you can choose what food and trimmings you will contribute to the feast.
Simple Secret Santa! If you want to join, just bring one £5–£10 gift that anyone can enjoy (yummy or funny is great!). Pop it in the pile and lucky-dip a gift in return!

Bonfire Night
Last Saturday night saw an impress array of fireworks unleashed over the Belfry followed by a spectacular fire. Unlike the SMCC we didn't manage to burn down any outbuildings at the same time.
Many enjoyed a communal dinner and the bar was serving mulled cider plus, of course, a barrel of Potholer.
Thanks go to all those involved on the night and Alex Mumford & Alice Elliot for ensuring this was a well-managed and safe event.

Important! Key information
Key Reminder: Keep Cave Padlocks and Keys Clean!
