EGM Outcome ~ by PCW

After much good-natured debate, Saturday's vote went to Option 1 - the minimal option.

So there will be a new upstairs floor in the front of No 8, refurbished stairs and bathroom, plus (as an amendment voted on in the meeting) the construction of a unisex portion of the Gent's bathroom for the benefit of ladies using the mixed dorm facilities.

Minutes from the EGM will be available in due course.

Much of this will be carried out at Working Week (25th May-2nd June), and we rely on members helping in order to keep costs down - please come along if you can for even just a day!

Buzz Magazine loves caving ~ by PCW

Claire had invited them to sample life above and below ground from an SWCC point of view. We looked after them for the day, it was a lot of fun and the Old Girl OFD did not disappoint.

We have a double page spread in the Feb Issue, with pictures.

" The camraderie of the experience is certainly evident, and it's a lot of fun to help each other out, perhaps laugh a little when they get stuck or wet, and discover together some amazing sights. Spending time with friends in the cottages afterwards, drinking in front of the fire, or outside in the summer, . . . " read more

Couldn't have put it better myself!

Thanks recent DOs, more needed ~ by Elsie Little

Many thanks for all those members who have responded to the plea for acting as Duty Officer recently. The system has worked so much better and I can only compliment the DOs on their superb efforts. Visitors too have voiced their thanks, so the good will it has made is to be commended.

There is plenty of opportunity for others to do their bit in the future!! They can either sign into the calendar or contact me direct if they wish to discuss the job.

Luckily we are not referring here to his mojo, but to a 1TB portable hard drive (Toshiba) with ALL his stuff on it, last seen in Family Quarters over the Fireworks weekend in November last year. Please contact Pete if you have any info.
