Nadolig llawen i chi gyd a blwyddyn Newydd Dda ~ Happy Christmas and a good New Year to you all!

Gary's Christmas Quiz - from Gary Jones - for older members!

Liz and I have been married 40 years this year – the picture below was taken
on our wedding day [obvs] – everyone in the picture was a member of SWCC at the time. Can anyone name all the individuals there? (no comments about the fashions!)


Classic Caving Images - Juniper Gulf, Yorkshire - by PCW

Came across this iconic photograph of the 50m pitch by Ian Davinson from the 1970s

Somewhat easier these days on SRT, but no less awesome!


Duncan's Courtesan - by PCW

Although he doesn't want to boast, Duncan Hornby has had his brilliant picture of The Courtesan in Ogof Agen Allwed, chosen for January in the Southampton Uni Geography Calendar 2015 - congrats!


Boulder Fall in Salubrious Passage - from Andy Freem

During a trip into OFD2 with our new members on Saturday last, We noticed a significant change to the large diagonal block bridging across Salubrious Passage just upstream of the junction with the Trident & Judge passage. A block about 3-4 cwt in weight (150-200 kg) had cracked off, slipped down and was very lightly poised, held above the passageway by a few millimeters lip. The rock actually blocked the point where caver's heads pass under. The block fell with just a few seconds wobbling and without leverage. The remaining much larger boulder bridge looks sound and the location now seems safe.


New Secretary - by PCW

We are pleased to welcome (back) Sue Goodhead as Club Secretary, who has kindly stepped in until AGM in place of Eleanor who hasn't been well and has had to stand down. Thanks are due to Eleanor for her work during the year and we wish her a speedy recovery.

If anyone wants to get to know how this role works, with a view to taking over after the AGM in May, Sue will be happy to hear from you secretary@swcc.org.uk
