Axiomatic, and correct because of it.

Peter Burgess said:I assure you that if club caving was expensive, I wouldn't do it.
Peter Burgess said:You are in the wrong club. Why not join us instead?
We have a corker of a Social Secretary who goes out of his way to get new members involved. So perhaps you have found the answer - find the best person to involve the new members. You do many good clubs a disservice with that dismissive comment.Cap'n Chris said:Sure a club will accept a new member and then commonly fail dismally to do anything at all for that new member.
You'll need a damn good reference!Cap'n Chris said:Peter Burgess said:You are in the wrong club. Why not join us instead?
I may well do that, Peter!

Cap'n Chris said:jasonbirder said:I was trying to make the point that the (reported) good health of the Instructed Caving sector doesn't necessarily lead to good numbers coming into Caving
The former results in the latter and vice versa - if clubs were good at providing caving, instructed and professional caving wouldn't be up to much; people successfully getting the trips they want won't be bothering with organisations that are unsatisfactory in that regard. Why would anyone want to join a club if they can go caving on their own terms with everything provided for them?
