What does the forum mean to you? Hidden Earth banner design help....

[Space Doubt Caver]

....and here they are!!

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread and to Matt and Gary for design, ordering and bringing to the Dales. They look great!

We have some exciting news about competitions and prizes on the UKC Hidden Earth stand - please keep an eye out on Monday.

Looking forward to meeting folks on the UKC stand next weekend 😁

Love it 🫶

All these quotes are a bit pedestrian to attract fresh blood. What you need are giveaways, freebies... the lure of a prize.

Needs to be audience specific, so got to be something that would only appeal to cavers. How about a free bucket of mud for every 1,000th post on the forums? *


* Over 18s only, not exchangeable for cash, mud to be claim in-person only, offer not open to residents of the Isle of Man, no liability in the event of parasitic disease or injury. Bucket remains sole property of UK caving.

How about a free bucket of mud for every 1,000th post on the forums?

Will the bucket of mud be a lucky dip for old bones (probably), teeth (possibly, though Aurochs will be rare), worked chert tools (rarely) and Neolithic pottery (very rarely)? Just like all the buckets I was hauling up to be searched through yesterday!

Prizes - even better than mud - to be announced Sunday eve!!
😁

Yes, we'll be having a lucky dip giveaway with 25 lengths of [brand new] Spanset SRT rope drawn from the mystery box. More details on that later.

We're also giving Hidden Earth 4 x 50m lengths of 9mm SRT rope for them to give away as prizes.

Mr Spanset will also be attending our stand and he has special give away pulleys for use on wire rope especially for you N Wales miner types

We don't sell anything, we just give it away. So you'd better come and see us in the trade hall.

Full details from Pegasus later

Cheers

The search facility is probably weakest part of updated forum

As a happy recipient of Teufelberger rope from UkC I can say that is a fab prize
