Dear Cavers, We had an absolutely stunningly successful expedition this summer - found loads of beautiful awe-inspiring cave, doing 3-day underground camps etc. Took a few photos, but it's never as good as being there! http://www.union.ic.ac.uk/rcc/caving/photo_archive/slovenia/2009/ In a uncharacteristic spell of organisation we've also got our Autumn calendar sorted, accommodation booked and minibuses lined up: *16-18th October* - Ogof Ffynnon Ddu <http://ogof.net/>, WSG hut<http://www.union.ic.ac.uk/caving/photo_archive/trips/2008-10-03%20-%20wales/justin%20dane%20-%20nikon%20d40%20-%20webres_DSC_2075.html>, South Wales *30th Oct - 1st Nov* - Aggy <http://www.ogof.org.uk/agen_allwedd.html>, Chelsea Hotel. Halloween with real bats *13-15th Nov* - Yorks, Northern Pennine Club *27-29th Nov* - Derbyshire, Orpheus *18-24th Dec* - Winter Tour, Dales, NPC (Dates rather flexible...) As you may note we're currently planning just *FOUR* weekend trips in the Autumn term (due to lack of travel budget across the RCC). So book well in advance + stump up a deposit to get your place! Our weekly meetings on *Tuesdays at 7pm* in *Beit Quad* have resumed. Once term starts we'll be throwing ourselves into the usual *Wednesday afternoons* tree training / climbing wall visits - email if you fancy a bit of SRT practice before the hordes of eager Freshers arrive to swamp us. We'll try and have a small car trip before term starts - probably on *2-4th October*, email if interested... Best, The committed committee -- Imperial College Caving Club http://union.ic.ac.uk/rcc/caving ic.caving [AT] gmail.com
