Hopefully we managed to convince you to come caving with us. 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. *Slovenia summer expedition talk* We are holding a talk about our annual summer expedition to Slovenia. It will be held in the Union meeting room 3. ICCC is fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to play a major role in Slovenia's cave exploration history. Found out how *you *can get involved by signing up to this <https://www.facebook.com/events/842837695819494/> facebook event. See facebook event for directions. *Tree Training* We will also be starting our weekly tree training sessions on tomorrow at 1pm 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 so it is not necessary for our fresher's trips. 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 7pm 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 red 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 <https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/shop/club-society-project-products/caving-products/13769/caving-membership-16-17> . Our upcoming trips this term are all listed on the website <https://union.ic.ac.uk/rcc/caving/>. To sign up just email ic.caving@gmail.com or find us at tree training or a pub meet. I'll email you with more details once I confirm you are on the trip. *Facebook group* We make lots of announcements on our facebook group. Please join <https://www.facebook.com/groups/imperialcaving/>. Our email address is ic.caving@gmail.com, feel free to contact us. See you soon, Ben *ICCC President.* -- Imperial College Caving Club <http://union.ic.ac.uk/rcc/caving>
