Hello new cavers, It was great seeing all of you at fresher's fair today. Hopefully we managed to convince a few of 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. *Tree Training* We will also be starting our weekly tree training sessions on* tomorrow at 1pm and every Wednesday after*. It will take place in Princes Gardens<https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=51.499493,-0.173132&num=1&t=m&z=18>, 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. I'll also bring donuts or something similar as an added incentive. *Meetings* As usual we will be meeting at the *union bar from 7pm each Tuesday*starting on the 8th of October, 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 £15 for new members. That includes all food, transport, equipment and accommodation. It's probably cheaper to go caving than stay at home. Our upcoming trips this term are: 11-13th Oct Wales - Fresher's Trip 25-27th Oct Wales - Fresher's Trip 8-10th Nov Yorkshire 22-24th Nov Yorkshire / Derbyshire (TBA) 13-20th Dec Yorkshire 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. *Website and contact details* Our incredibly retro website is located here: https://union.ic.ac.uk/rcc/caving/ And a useful page of new member info is here: https://union.ic.ac.uk/rcc/caving/new_member.php Our email address is ic.caving@gmail.com, feel free to contact us.
