Hi Matt, The reason for the amendment is, in part, to make the AGM at least vaguely consequential. I know that's a tension regarding radical change but the high threshold is there to make sure that anything contentious goes to ballot. I don't want to go back to the 'ping pong policy' days but I...

I quartered my oversuit in the Daren entrance crawl about 15 years ago - an AV that fell apart at the seams and was only held together at the velcro strap at the front (each limb was attached to a different piece). I once ripped a brand new suit from armpit to ankle on one side falling out of a...

When asked to provide a medical opinion, several times, on whether X medical condition would prevent someone caving the usual yardstick I've used is 'if they would be legal to drive they can probably cave' and then use what limitations there might be to inform a risk assessment. I think it...

Bagshaw?

How long did the calibration take?

I've been looking for this for years, I saw it at hidden earth quite a few years ago and really captures the very best of the caving community for me. A must watch - especially for aspiring expedition cavers!

I think so - I've been disappointed with the lack of campaigning so more knowledge about what people intend to do, what their track record is and what their values are is all helpful to make a decision There is nothing in the manual of operations about elections and campaigning (which is...

There were some additional statements from candidates for positions. Secretary is contested - both candidates fielded a couple questions. 2 nominations from the floor that will go to electronic vote, otherwise pretty much as per agenda. No proposals.

I would happily - it would be a little unfair as Allan is away at the moment. That said, I don't have the keys to anything yet (happens at the end of the voting period, assuming reopen nominations doesn't win) I'll try to work out if something is possible.

I use TopodroidX but as Andy says you can't really get that funny scaling to change on the topodroid zoom You can however change the Font size (my default was 45 and that is much to large, I find 20 is the sweet spot for me) It's also worth checking sketch settings/sketch point settings check...

Our membership is barely large enough for the existing insurance policy - a lot of work and negotiation went into that. I'm not sure we could replicate it at a national level let alone a regional level and the price we get for the cover is competitive. It's use as an access instrument is...

I was trying to work out how to respond to this in meme form. The short answer is yes, if only because if it isn't there then other, more malign organisations will fill the gap. So at the very least you need a placeholder to stop interference. I happen to think a stronger argument is all the...

You can wear your wellies on the plane - they slip on and off beautifully for security

A small part of me thinks it's a little bit of covid lag but I suspect if you go back through issues that might not bear out. I think this mirrors society at large and the decline in local news. We have a diminishing number of publications, and a diminishing number of contributors. I think it's...

[citation needed] You'd have thought property taxes affecting generational wealth are far more progressive than a tax that actively makes people from lower income backgrounds who succeed pay more than people who have lower earning potential but large amounts of inherited wealth.

Now that's an idea...

You gave me a crisis of confidence compiling a subjective list - is my opinion valid 😂 I've managed to correct your list. PS I'm too fat for Derbyshire hall and too sensible for CoH

I'd have to stop my persistent habit of swearing when interacting with cavers if anything I did was available online! I agree though I think there's a role for some of the presentations to be recorded, it sucks to have been a speaker at the event and not be able to attend half the talks I wanted...

Small package (disto battery) for pick up to go to Greece

There are multiple surveying devices coming through: You have the SAP5 coming out - though I don't think for this expedition season though Phil may correct me on that. If push comes to shove though I'm happy for you to have my SAP4 (all fully integrated with Topodroid) if needed. It's also...
