Dear Cavers & cavers-to-be, *Tuesday* (2nd Dec) *6:30pm*: *Votla Gora 2008* talk with the Explo Soc by James Kirkpatrick Room: *Civil Engineering Building (Skempton) Room 207* James is a very entertaining speaker, and will spend some time introducing the audience to the nature of alpine exploration caving, and then going into the specifics of Imperial College Caving Club's summer 2008 Expedition to the Julian Alps in Western Slovenia. Come for some stunning photos, an introduction (As its Exploration Soc: £1 for non-members, free for Exploration members, £2 to join the club for a free lecture ) * Last Trip of Term: 5-7th Dec (This Weekend): * Just a couple of spaces left, all those people who couldn't fit on the prior trips or who couldn't make the dates, this is your last chance for a weekend trip till 2009... Destination: *Bullpot Farm*, and the *70km+ Easegill system*! This is our first trip to Bullpot and is a remarkably well situated hut, being a few hundred meters across the fell from Lancaster & Cow Pot. The locals are always entertaining, and there's a couple of other university clubs up to fight for space with in the kitchen & fiddle with in the squeeze machines... *Winter Tour: (20th Dec--> 28th ish) *Wahey! Well, we've got a lovely little Tour coming up which gives you a chance to really get in the skills and the long Yorkshire trips. We'll be driving up to Yorks ideally on the afternoon of Saturday 20th Dec, staying at the NPC and doing 4 days of hard action in the Three Peaks region, dropping off anyone who needs to go home for Crimbo at a suitable train station (Clapham / Skipton / Settle / etc.), then swapping over to Bullpot farm for festive fun, a great big fat roast dinner & Christmas Caving. Van is slated to return to London on Sunday 28th. And if you need a rescue on the 25th... Well, at least Yorkshiremen appreciate the escape from their families during the long dark Christmas tea time of the soul: http://www.union.ic.ac.uk/rcc/caving/yorkshire/yorkshire-2006-winter-tour.ph... Come on Tues / the weekend / next Tues to pay your deposit & voice an interest - we've only booked a 9 seater minibus so we have space for all the Christmas crackers, otherwise you'll have to slum it on the train!
