For those of you who don't know, Hidden Earth is the annual conference of the British Cave Research Association (BCRA), where we normally give a presentation on our expedition. This year's conference is in Llangollen, North Wales, where Ben and I will be bragging shamelessly about our walking passages, deep pitches, and christmassy camps. To find out more, visit: Hidden Earth - The UK's National Caving Conference. <https://hidden.earth/> There is an early bird ticket, so we need to buy them all by next Friday (6th of Sep). 5 people have currently expressed an interest, which works nicely for having one car, but we could send a second if there's lots more. *When *Friday 20th - Sunday 22nd of September *Where *Llangollen Pavilion <https://hidden.earth/> *Membership* Not an official club trip, so not required *Price* Please read carefully, this could be quite expensive: Entry is £39 each for the weekend, plus £15x2 for tents, and an optional £23 and £15 for dinner and T-shirts respectively, *Plus, *whatever the travel ends up costing. Because the Union has said no to pre-term trips, there is *No Union subsidy*, though I will send a nagging email asking if we can use grant to cover entry, and if not, we will *t**ry to subsidise* the trip through other means. *Events* There is no caving! 😧 Instead, Hidden Earth has a whole range of Talks, Films, Workshops, and competitions <https://hidden.earth/lectures/> to keep you entertained. *However*, if people are *suuuuper* keen to go caving, we could try a cheeky trip, but it would probably have to be a mine, at night, with minimal kit :( *Transport and accomodation* as mentioned, probably only one car, picking people up from a station near Wrexham. Hidden Earth has a campsite which we will use, and there are shops for food in the town. *Sign Up **Please reply to this email with:* -Your full name -Any dietary requirements -Any medical conditions -An emergency contact number for your next of kin *-If you have a car you are willing to drive* *-if you are coming from anywhere other than London* -Anything else you think we need to know over the course of the weekend. * Do this by Friday!!* *Upcoming Trips:* 04/10 London Social 18/10 S.
