This venue looks superb so come along and meet your mates

I have just been checking out the Hidden Earth price list and it is not abundently clear what I have to pay  ;)

If i book in advance for the week-end it's ?22  ;)

but then I can get a discount each day for being a BCA member so take off ?2  ;)  ;)

but if I want a package (weekend admission, dinner, stomp and T-shirt) can I take another ?2 off  ;)  ;)  ;)

but if I don't want a T-shirt but do want admission, dinner, stomp do I still get ?2 off  :-\

Whatever the answer I think it looks like a jolly good week-end can be had for not a lot.  :D but I will not be entering for the prussik race as I have only just recovered from the Vercors  :cry:  See you there.  :)

I'll be at Suicro too Graham!, I wonder how much beer it will take to persuade you to take me for a trip down Pen Park Hole!

Haven't quite decided yet, but I guess a lot of people will be relying on me, so perhaps I will go
Can't wait for SUICRO either

When, if at all, will we get to see a timetable of lectures? I feel the need to start organising my itinerary already!  ::)

It's only 11 days away  (y)

Me too, especially as we are going up this Friday for a week of caving/walking before conference. So we will not have internet access from this Friday onwards.

If previous years are anything to go by, the final timetable remains "fluid" until the last minute as lectures are juggled to fit as required. There will be a cut off point as the pragramme has to be printed. Then, maybe, something may appear on the HE site....

Cheers,

Glenn

We do not publish a Timetable of lectures in advance of the weekend as it will already be wrong by then. The program is at the printers now but the timetables are printed separately as an insert. By Sunday there will normally be new inserts to account for the revised timetable.

A list of lectures "might" make it to the website soon(ish) if our webmonkey has time.

p.s. Peter, you are quite correct, currently you are on on Saturday and Sunday (E&OE)  :LOL:

What would be handy to know is whether the duration of the presentations I offered is as originally stated. I have tailored the slide shows to fit, but might not be able to click the buttons fast enough if my slots have been shortened!

The Cave Diving Group will be running a 'suck it and see'  :eek: session in the pool (Saturday lunchtime-ish I think)
Just bring shorts/cossies and we'll bring the rest.
Have a go with sidemount tanks and cave diving gear, or just swim around with a bottle on your back for a bit of fun.
No obligation other than to have fun!
See you there,
Dave
