The CHECC committee

Its a pity this is for students only, although once I was a student my Uni did not have a caving club

It does say:

So maybe you could go....

the blurb say ex-students who have been before, and ex-members, implying students who were members of uni caving clubs.

as an ex-student whose uni didnt have a caving club, and the mountaineering club, on visiting castleton, refused to let me visit any of the show caves, does that mean i am eligable or not? i think Alex may be in the same situation as me - his uni didnt have a caving club so he wasnt a student caver, he's just one of the most enthusiastic cavers i can think of

if you have been involved in student caving/ know lots of student cavers/ realy want to come then just get in touch with somone from a uni club and get them to put you on there booking form. If you dont know any student cavers who can put you on a booking form then you might not get much out of the event anyway!
