Eurospeleo 16

This is a week long event being held at the Dalesbridge centre in the Dales from the 13th to the 20th August 2016.

As part of the event, there are week long pre and post camp events being held in the various caving areas. SWCC are hoping to host such an event in the week after EuroSpeleo16 that will be the week 21st to the 27th August Would anyone who is able to help lead any trips during that week please get in contact with me. Cheers Allan


Doggy do

The odious issue of dog mess came up at the last committee and in paticular what facilities the club needed for its disposal. After a little debate it was decided that this was an issue best left to the club dog owning fraternity, so over to you. What, if any, dog do disposal facilities would you like, who gets to empty them and where might you like them placed? All ideas to the committe please.


Lanzarote

Allan is planning a trip to the Lava Caves of Lanzarote between Jan 30 to Feb 6 next year. The cheapest flights I have found so far flying from Manchester with one 22kg bag is £184.10 on the above dates. Accommodation for two people is £163 for the week Car hire from £89 for the week. If anyone is interested, we need to get booked fairly soon as this is apparently a popular destination in the Winter. Cheers Allan


Hidden Earth

Well done to everyone who manned the SWCC stand at Hidden Earth and especially the stand coordinators Chloe, Claire, Andy, Antonia, Harvey and Pete. The club won best stand (again!) this year the prize was 30m of SRT rope in ninja black. There is an excellent write-up of the event on the club blog.

Club merchandise sold well, particularly the huffs - thanks to Jo for getting these produced and to Chloe for the last minute dash to Avonmouth to collect them
