We know that in these days of social media (including of course, UKCaving) and our own mailing list, you may have seen many of these stories already on a more as-they-happened basis. However, we love putting together our full newsletters, as they demonstrate both the diversity and frequency of our work in one place… you could call it a compilation! This newsletter covers everything since last October.

Thank you to everyone who has been involved in the various projects. Without your volunteering, there'd be nothing to report!

Paper copies will be going out to all caving huts and a few other locations over the coming week or so.
 
Apologies for the delay in highlighting this - I've been camping in a field for a week 😁

Folks, anything you would like adding to notices, please do let me know, cheers, Pegasus
