New in the resources section - RUCC's guide to basic Single Rope Technique (SRT). This is an update to our previous guide, and is now presented in spangly new technicolour. If you are going to Yorkshire next term please read and memorise this guide, and sleep with it under your pillow. Thanks to J for the original on which it is based.
A direct link for download (1.8 mb .pdf file) is here.
Our new super efficient committee have decreed forth. Top dates for your diary next term:
29th April - 1st or 2nd May. Bullpot Farm, Yorkshire - SRT trip. It's the middle of nowhere. And then in a bit. Durham University Speleological Association have this virtual tour if you want more proof.
27th - 29th/30th May. YSS (last year's fabled CHECC venue), Yorkshire - SRT trip
17th - 19th June SWCC (we've been there before, car park is very good for saucepan divining) Wales - non SRT trip
If you want to go on any of the trips let Charlotte know. We particularily need leaders for the first 2 trips as it seems some of you are going to be away!
It's a news orgy!
Congratulations to the new committee. Nikki was voted in and won the president's post by a single vote (and I checked). Charlotte and Harriet took the other two posts hence RUCC IS AN ALL FEMALE CAVING COMMITTEE! This may be a world first. In celebration I have taken the liberty of temporarily changing the design of the main page. Full profiles for the committee will be posted shortly.
2) A few photos of the AGM (or 'testaments to togetherness' as I prefer to term them) are available here.
3) Fantastic news from the Great RUCC Junkyard Sale! Sales are well above expectations. Check our sales and progress using our online crapometer here. Phase two starts next week. After a fierce round of bidding, our dear pound coin eventually sold for 96 pence. We will of course be selling this 96 pence again through ebay as we feel it would be an interesting experiment in the mechanics of online supply and demand.
4) There are plans afoot to attend the Irish Student Caving Seminar on 17-20th March. Contact John W if you are interested.
5) John K has today announced a 'gear amnesty'. If you have old gear bring it on a Monday or let John know or otherwise he will find out that you have gear squirelled away and come round and beat you with sticks.
Photos from this weekend are now here. There are also a select few from last month's social event. I also have some unpublished photos of Henry Patton for anybody with 'speciality interests' out there. Price on application.
Our reporters will be covering the committee election results tonight so stay tuned in to see the results as they come in. There's also been progress on the great RUCC junkyard sale. More to follow.
Details of next week's highly important elections can now be found here. They will be held at next week's AGM, which is due to take place on Monday 7th March at Sweeney & Todd's Pie Shop, Castle Street, Reading. 8.00 ish, probably in Pavlov's beforehand but no doubt an e-mail will go round. This means we will NOT BE IN THE COLLEGE ARMS NEXT MONDAY. New posts are now available.
