NEWS FEST! Three things:
1 We have some new shirt ideas here. Top work! May need some refinement but I think the idea is there.
2 Ever wondered what your favourite caving club members look like when their face is superimposed with a potato based snack? Yes, us too...
3 Congratulations to Marie and Kay who have now jumped out of a plane for charity and have lived to collect the money from you all.
As some of you may know RUCC has a long history of undertaking underground expeditions in foreign parts. We have now consulted with the club's caving elders before their memory goes into terminal decline, and are now able to post an outline and photos of all the expeditions over the years on this site. You can also use the expeditions button on the left.
It's a true tale of heroism, sleep deprivation, mud, carbide, burst tyres and entertaining trousers. And interesting caves. If anyone wants to add, dispute or delete anything let me know. Thanks to Lisa in particular for archiving duties, even though entire years seem to have slipped her memory. Here's to continuing this expedition tradition....
On a separate note, message from Ann-Marie: For this Friday's beer festival we will be congregating in the Monks Retreat at 6.00 pm to talk tactics and formulate a festival game plan, before moving on at 7.00 ish. There may be diagrams involved.
Also - rumour indicates that this weekend in Yorkshire may be the first appearance of 'Chez Paul's - On Tour', with a special mobile drinking unit set up to meet everyone's special cocktail needs.
We really really new some new shirts. To encourage someone arty to have a go there is now a page on the site that is there to display whatever people come up with. There's one on there as an example, the idea is to do better.
In other news don't forget that there's a Yorkshire trip this bank holiday weekend (Saturday 30th April - Monday May 1st.). We are going on Saturday so we can attend the 11th Reading Beer Festival on the Friday. Your attendance is of course required for this event which is held in a very big tent in Kings Meadow. 400 different ales apparently. Oh dear.
Photos of last weekend's trip are available here.
This weekend's guest photographer: John W.
to Andy & Esther who have recently announced their engagement. This will apparently bring the RUCC wedding tally into double figures. We should start charging more for membership.
In unrelated news future plans for the junkyard sale have been slighly derailed by the news that someone else has got there first...
UPDATE: Apparently the rope went for £31.00. Arse. And we have a whole hut full of dodgy old rope. RUCC online crapometer latest: £60.00.
