I'm probably going to cause some controversy with these comments but it saddens me that it exists in this community ![Cautious :cautious: :cautious:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I have noticed that there seems to be so much beurocracy and exclusivity between clubs. There should be more collaboration and encouragement to join several clubs and networking should be encouraged. And we should encourage younger people to join. If they continue in this old fashioned manner the sport could be all but lost in 10 years would be very sad as caving is a dying sport.
I understand that some clubs want to restrict access for the sake of conservation which is fine. But why not welcome members from other clubs to join trips? Why aren't there more reciprocal agreements to stay at other clubs around the country? :-\
I'm not pointing fingers or blaming anyone in particular. I just want to provoke some thought around the subject.
