Hi Ravers, Two more spaces left in the minibus for CHECC! Not guaranteed to get more tickets but if you are interested in going let me know and I can find out! Perry On 2 November 2017 at 15:15, Imperial College Caving Club < ic.caving@gmail.com> wrote:
Hello Ravers,
*I Cant Read:* - CHECC 24th-26th - £40-£45 - Email CHECC for training
*What is CHECC?* This year the club is organising a *trip to CHECC* *(Council of Higher Education Caving Clubs)* Forum on *November 24th - 26th* . If you dont know what this is then the official website <http://checc.org/checc-forum/> says:
"CHECC forum is an annual meet-up for all of the member clubs. Held annually in November at various locations around the UK, the forum is a chance for students to network with other clubs. There are competitions in all aspects of caving, from surveying to single rope technique (SRT) and cave photography. It is also a chance for clubs to get a bit of extra training. This is *the* essential event in the student caving calendar – not to be missed!"
So as not to mislead you I shall say that the "networking" mentioned here is pretty much a big *drinking/partying/caving* festival which involves caving games.
*Training Sessions* Also available over the weekend is a plethora of training opportunities. Josh Bratchley the training secretary posted this on our Facebook page. which gives more information on the sessions available and how to book onto them. Feel free to post in the group to scout out which sessions other people will be booking onto. The Surveying and SRT are probably not going to prove useful for our trips.
