It was great chatting with you all at fresher's fair today. Perhaps some of you were coerced into giving us your email but hopefully most of you are somewhat interested in what we do. This introductory email will go over some of the basic information about the club. If you sign up for trips then I'll send more detailed info on what to expect closer to the time. If you have any questions (FAQ) then definitely refer to our website which offers a great amount resources available or feel free to send an email

 

Welcome Talk & Expedition talk (here)

 

Tomorrow (Wednesday 4th) we are holding a welcome talk followed by a talk about our annual summer expedition to Slovenia. It will be held in the Union meeting room 1 (Union level 1). ICCC is fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to play a major role in Slovenia's cave exploration history.

 

Tree Training

 

We will also be starting our weekly tree training sessions on tomorrow after the talk and every Wednesday after at 12. 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 to Yorkshire. Come along, there's no obligation to join the club or even go on a trip, just have fun climbing and abseiling in trees.

 

Pub social meetings

 

As usual we will be meeting at the FiveSixEight bar from 6pm each Tuesday starting today, its a perfect chance to find out more about caving, our club, or sign up for trips. We normally have a caving helmet with us so you can find us.

 

Trips

 

Trips are every two weeks and the two 'Fresher's' trips cost just £11 for new members. That includes all food, transport, equipment and accommodation. It's probably cheaper to go caving than stay at home.

 

To come on trips you have to buy membership.

 

Our upcoming trips this term are all listed on the website.

There will be an email shortly with some further information.

 

Facebook group

 

We make lots of announcements on our Facebook group. Please feel free to join.

 

Our email address is ic.caving@gmail.com, feel free to contact us.

 

See you soon,

 

Perry

ICCC President.
