If you trust the sender, add them to your safe senders list https://spam.ic.ac.uk/SpamConsole/Senders.aspx to disable email stamping for this address. ******************* Hello All! Tomorrow, we will be hosting an EGM to fill out our committee (you may have noticed there are not many of us!). We have a host of roles (described below) that we would like to fill, and we have tried to balance them out so that they aren't too time-demanding. Feel free to write a manifesto if you really want to (there's really no need) but we will vote on the day and those who wish to run will give a very short speech followed by answering a few questions. As well as being able to put this all over your CV, you will be part of the innermost sanctum of the club, hear all the juicy goss first and make a real difference to a society that has been bringing subterranean joy to students and alums for over 60 years - what more could you want! *This is very informal*, so please do just turn up, be it just to vote or to hear from future committee members! If you are undecided, do not worry - you can just turn up and put yourself forward :) Where: In the RSM Building, though TBC exactly where, as we could not formally book a room in time. When: 6pm Thursday (Tomorrow 30th October) Roles Available: - 1 Assistant Secretary The role of the secretary (Claryce) is to make sure the club keeps running in the background, organising keys, booking huts, and even booking the minibus (back in the old days). Your job will be to help them whenever they need. This should be a fairly low workload, mostly taking on overflow jobs like sending and reading some emails. - 1 Assistant Tours Sec: The main role for this position will be to help the tours secretary (Ben) plan and sort out our upcoming Easter Tour! No skills necessary, it will be mostly helping with some logistics and maybe write a few emails. This job will be mostly quiet this term, picking up a little towards the end of spring term (when the tour happens). There's no requirement to actually go on the tour, of course. - 2 Social Secs Or 1, depending on demand. The idea would be to split the workload between 2 keen members if you feel the role may be too much to fully commit to. Social secs are responsible for organising socials and making sure people have fun! This is for anyone who would like some experience planning events, and writing incredible emails in time before the event (we can show some previous works of art to give ideas). - 1 Media Sec This role is mostly to keep people informed on what we have been doing, mostly on the club Instagram (though there is an old facebook group if you're up for the challenge). The role will involve creating fun little posts, and answering messages we receive now and then. - 1 Welfare Officer A very important role with a low general work load, the aim of the welfare officer is to be a confidential contact for anyone about anything welfare related. Other aims will include improving the systems and structures in the club to allow for us to run in a way that supports all students, whether in the form of feedback forms or generally talking to everyone and making sure they are having a good time :) Yours 'till we have the largest committee in the union, Thurston -- Imperial College Caving Club <https://imperialcaving.com/>

Thank you all for a great second weekend! Loved OFD, great fun, lots of pretties :) Also, please remember to come to out EGM this Thursday! It should start around 6pm in the RSM building, and anyone can run for the couple of committee positions available! Here is a photo from this weekend! [image: image.png] This trip is our first to Mendips this year! It will mostly be focussed around SRT training, so *please come if you are interested in coming to Yorkshire and have not yet learned SRT*. Mendips is a "mostly" horizontal caving region within Somerset, often a bit more inclined that Wales. We will hopefully be able to offer an SRT cave on the Sunday, as we will be training people in SRT on the Saturday night after a nice cave near the hut (Swildon's Cave). *When:* Friday 7/11 - Sunday 9/11 *Where: *Mendips (The Wessex) *Membership:* You need membership to join weekend trips which is £35.00 (membership lasts the entire year) Price (New Members): *£30 *for food, accommodation, transport! Price (Returning Members):* £45 *for food, accommodation, transport! *How do I sign up?! Please fill out this google form: * HERE <https://forms.gle/zxgKEkVmiMUMjiXv8> P.S. We will send out an email soon about CHECC and Winter Tour. *Fill it out quickly to make sure you get a place!* *Upcoming trips* *CHECC *- 14/11 - 16/11 *Yorkshire 1 *- 28/11 - 30/11 *Winter Tour *- 12/12 - 19/12 Yours 'till we all make it into a pub on halloween, Thurston and Julien -- Imperial College Caving Club <https://imperialcaving.com/>

SRT Training and Socials
by Imperial College Caving Club 20 Oct '25

20 Oct '25

******************* This email originates from outside Imperial. Do not click on links and attachments unless you recognise the sender. If you trust the sender, add them to your safe senders list https://spam.ic.ac.uk/SpamConsole/Senders.aspx to disable email stamping for this address. ******************* HELLO EVERYONE, So, you may have noticed a lack of socials recently. This, in fact, may be due to the fact we have no social sec (how sad). HOWEVER, we are changing this! Come join us at our *EGM* next Thursday if you would like to join the committee. TLDR (for the whole email): - *EGM*: Happening *next Thursday (30/10)*. Read information below if you are interested in helping us out with running the club. - Tree Training: Unfortunately, we don't know when we can start tree training again (due to union issues), if you would like to learn SRT, we will be trying to teach as many people on trips. This means that if you would like to join a Yorkshire trip, please join us on Mendips 1 or CHECC (there is a large SRT rig where we can teach). We hope to be up the tree soon :( - Socials: 1 on Wednesday (Bouldering at Ravenswall), 1 on Halloween itself, 1 on Bonfire night. Please come along, we'd love to see you all. TREE TRAINING Unfortunately due to Union issues, tree training will have to be postponed until further notice. If you would like to join us on a Yorkshire trip (and eventually Easter Tour/Slov), please come to Mendips (the trip after Wales 2, from 7/11-9/11), or to CHECC (the weekend after Mendips 1). We have had to change our first Yorkshire trip to Mendips, as at the hut we will now be staying at, there is an SRT rig that we can train people on in the evenings, meaning we can still do caving in the day. CHECC is a large social event for all university cavers across the UK (Council of Higher Education Caving Clubs), meaning the weekend will be filled with drinking, partying, and lots and lots of caving game competitions. If you are interested, sign ups will go out next week. Trip sign ups will now be just over 2 weeks before the trip to comply with union rules, so please look out for the Mendips sign up at the end of this week :) SOCIALS So, unfortunately there have been few socials recently. We seek to change this. Here are 3 socials coming up: Social 2: Wednesday What? We will be having a bouldering social at Ravenswall! We will meet on campus at 1.45pm, leave by 2pm to get there, otherwise meet at Ravenswall before 4pm (to get in before peak prices). Please feel free to come along, even if you haven't gone bouldering before. Prices and more info are on the website here <https://londonclimbingcentres.co.uk/prices>. We will probably do something after, and will let people know on the whatsapp. Where? Ravenswall, Hammersmith When? 22/10, 1.45pm Social 3: Halloween TBD by our next social sec... (though I'm sure it will be incredible fun). Social 4: Guy Fawkes What? We will be having a bonfire and setting off fireworks! Please bring drinks, we will be providing food for the barbecue/bonfire, and some fireworks (though feel free to bring your own)! Where? Cave house! (55 Norbroke Street, East Acton). When? 5/11, 6pm EGM (Emergency General Meeting) We unfortunately didn't get all the slots filled in the committee last year, so we are running a little low on manpower for the club. If anyone is interested in helping us out (with very simple roles), please let us know! You can write a manifesto if you would like, but honestly feel free to come along and even just sign up for something on the day! We will let whoever is running give a speech, and then all vote after they leave the room. We will announce the room on the day, as we aren't able to officially book one, so it will probably be in the RSM building. Some roles available are as follows: Social Sec, Social Media Sec We apologise for the promise of tree training, and the absolute mess that is happening with everything to do with the union. We are trying to fix it! Yours 'till the union give us back the tree, Thurston -- Imperial College Caving Club <https://imperialcaving.com/>
