Changes to BPC winch meet
For the BPC winch meet (May 24-30), online pre-booking is now essential via the BPC website. You can no longer just rock up and expect a ride up or down.
Contact Russ Brooks if sold out. Entrances will be rigged beforehand. Rope use remains free; sign up at the booking tent.
Cave the Sun – last day to sign up
Just a reminder that the sign up for the day segment of cave the sun closes today! Please let Dave know if you want to take part, and which caves you are interested in.
There's a bit longer for the evening social, but please sign up on eventbrite as it allows us to track numbers! Sign up guarantees you a place, tickets are then £17 on the door.
