There have been no specific requests for bookings for caving trips in Yorkshire, Derbyshire or Wales from any members as yet.

Andy Thomas is planning to book some permits for the club shortly, but what we don't want is booked permits not being used, as per some previous years; it's not fair on the other clubs if we have unused permits and they can't book trips for a particular weekend. If you wish to visit a particular cave, please contact Andy with some ideas for dates and he will do his best to book them.

We're sure we have quite a lot of members who have done very little caving anywhere apart from Mendip, so come on guys and gels, be a bit adventurous!!!
