New cave Discovery

A team of cavers including many SWCC members have been digging near Pendine in West Wales and have discovered a new cave known as Ogof Marros. Current known passage is 300-400m but with significant further potential, the cave has many intricate and delicate formations as well as trout and other biota. The cave is locked but the digging team are happy to arrange access, particularly to those keen to support exploration and further digging.

Discoverers: Phil Knight, Andy Freem, Antonia Freem, Michael Perryman, Ash Pursglove, Claire Vivian, Duncan Hornby, Emily Ivans, David Kelvey, Storm Morris and Fred Cook

Provisionals' weekend

Well done to everyone who supported the Provisionals' weekend and espescailly to Claire for organising the whole thing. About 16 Provisionals turned up and went on about five parallel trips. Piers' birthday curry (thanks Annie) and beer on tap provided a fine introduction to club life. We have certainly set the bar high!
