It is that time of year again - we are looking for member updates ready for the AGM!

We are requesting a short summary of any digging activities or overseas adventures that have taken place this year to add to the caving report. We are only looking for a few sentences as this is a very brief summary (save the extended version for a BB submission!), but it would be good to share what the club has been up to. 

You have until the this Friday 5th to get your summaries in
