Recently there was long thread about the BCA. I can now post possible answers to some of the questions, such as "Why is the BCA still raising membership prices when there is a significant amount still left in its coffers?"
Good job it's millennials running the event and gen Z on the cider then.
This year's caving freshers were born this side of the millennium watershed... Gen Z don't drink like previous generations as they can't afford it and see it as a waste of time and good health thrown away by previous generations.
