Hello everyone, We will be holding the rope training session today as per usual, in Princes Gardens from 2pm onwards. The weather looks to be fine for this afternoon, although having a coat nearby won't hurt! We are hoping to get people on whole the circuit/ improve their technique.

Hello everyone, The first Freshers' trip is coming up *very soon* now, and there are some *places left*. It is a great opportunity to visit a bespoke cave in the UK and get to know fellow freshers as well ! *Its cheaper than to stay in London for a weekend only £35. Everything provided for.* If interested, don't hesitate, give us a shout and we'll arrange the rest. Remember, the caving club provides you with every bit of equipment you'll need. All you have to do is bring clothes, a sleeping bag and a bag to put it all in. A reminder that we'll also be present at the Pub on Tuesday from 7pm onwards with a red helmet to help you find us. We'll also hold a tree training session on Wednesday from 2pm in Princes Gardens. Those week meets are *perfect for you to sign up* for trips, and learn more. You can also pack the gear we'll lend you in advance and thus *get the best kit*! Or you can wait until Friday evening, but come in early so you don't have to rush. I'll email round additional information, including directions to our caving stores closer to the time. To summarise: *come caving this weekend*, there is enough space, see us on Tuesday or Wednesday, pack and then enjoy the weekend. Best wishes, Tanguy Racine, rcc caving president. *note: Well done to those already signed up.* -- Imperial College Caving Club http://union.ic.ac.uk/rcc/caving ic.caving [AT] gmail.com Edit your subscription settings at https://mailman.ic.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/icu-caving-announce

We normally have a red caving helmet with us so you can find us. *Tree Training* We will also be starting our weekly tree training sessions on Wednesday the 8th of October and each Wednesday after. It will take place in Princes Gardens, just look for people tangled in ropes in the trees. The sessions will teach you how to use all the necessary caving equipment to go on our later trips. Come along, there's no obligation to join the club or even go on a trip. I'll also bring donuts or something similar as an added incentive. *Website and contact details* Our incredibly retro website is located here:https://union.ic.ac.uk/rcc/caving/ It contains all manner of useful info and is updated regularly.
