Hey Cavers,
The Royal Geographical Society is hosting a one-off conference "A Golden Age of Cave Exploration" to celebrate the last fifty years of British cave exploration, both in the UK and abroad. This is a really exciting event happening just round the corner from Imperial College, so we're trying to get plenty of Imperial cavers to attend.
The conference is split over three days:
- Friday evening: Four long, detailed talks by renowned cave explorers, covering UK caves, exploration in Vietnam as well as cave science (£10)
- Saturday all day: Short talks include Yorkshire, the Peak District and Wales in the UK, as well as and Mulu, China, America, Africa, India and Vietnam! (£5)
- Sunday all day: Short talks on the Mendip, Devon, Scotland and Ireland, as well as Austria, Spain and Slovenia. (£5)
You can buy tickets for each day individually, so if you can only make part of the conference you don't have to pay for the rest. If you can only come for one bit, the Friday evening is probably the best as the talks will be more detailed and by internationally recognised cave explorers and scientists.
ICCC has a talk on Sunday afternoon on our Slovenia expedition, so if you're keen to see that then buy a ticket for Sunday's session.
Again, this event is a one off and very close to Imperial, so it's a great opportunity to learn more about other expeditions, as well as meet other cavers from around the world!
Cheers,
Perry
ICCC President
P.s. Jack gets the credit for the amount of info here and he will also be the person to give the ICCC talk!
