CHECC Clubs, for details on how to enter, read on.....
The 'Grand Prize' competition is being held to benefit student caving - therefore the majority of competition entrants should be current students rather than alumni.
In order to qualify to enter the competition each club must:
Post on the thread 'Our CHECC Club 2018' tell your fellow caver about your club. For those clubs who entered last year we're interested to hear what you've been up (down) to these past 12 months - Successes/difficulties with recruiting/funding/training/trips/expeditions?? For those clubs new to The Grand Prize, tell us about your club - history, famous alumni, current activities, training, expeditions etc, etc.
Student Clubs play an important role in introducing people to caving - how many new cavers joined your club this year, how did you encourage students to join your club?? The reports posted last year made interesting reading and I urge those that haven't to take a look at https://ukcaving.com/board/index.php?topic=22693.0
The best write up, as judged by Badlad and Pegasus wins 10 points, the runner up 5 points. One entry per club and posted by 10pm, Saturday 24th November.
The Club that scores the highest number of points - wins! Here's how to score more points:
1) Help to promote www.newtocaving.com. Put posters up in suitable locations where potential cavers might see them. Link New to
Caving to suitable websites. New to Caving was designed to inspire and encourage new people to our sport - help us spread the
word! The Club that does the best job of promoting New to Caving wins 30 points, the runner up 15 points. Post photographic
proof on the following thread: https://ukcaving.com/board/index.php?topic=23740.0
Posters are available from us (PM me), Inglesport, Starless River and various club huts.
Post links on this thread, where you will also find logos/banners: https://ukcaving.com/board/index.php?topic=22143.0
