Reading University Caving Club 
A few photos from the Christmas Party are here. Don’t forget Sweeneys on Monday.
And I seem to have two medium RUCC T shirts following CHECC so let me know if its yours. Still available from all the usual retailing outlets etc etc.
CHECC 2005!
This weekend we went away to CHECC in Yorkshire and mostly:
– Were trained in SRT by Dave Elliot & co;
– Discussed the symbolism of the humble cabbage in modern art;
– Found out the freezing consequences of losing a bet over a game of pool.
Photos are inevitably here. Thanks to everyone who organised.
Quote of the weekend belongs to John W:
Nikki: "Are you leaving me for another woman?"
John W: "No. I’m leaving you for two other women. And a man."
Finally: SRT – to those who have started we have our own fully illustrated guide here (1.8Mb pdf direct download).
Finally, quick reminder that the Christmas party is THIS SATURDAY.
RUCC 3rd Annual Pub Golf Tournament
The RUCC Social Secretariat are pleased to announce that the club will be holding the third inaugural pub golf event on Thursday the 17th November. Full details will be provided but if last year is anything to go by players will be requested to assemble in the College Arms at 8.00 p.m ready for teeing off. Second hole will no doubt be the Upin Arms at Cemetery Junction but after that your guess is as good as mine. If you are planning on being late (in which case your chances of winning are significantly handicapped) your best bet is to contact event commissioner Anne Marie.
There may be an award for silliest trousers or anyone caught in the rough.
Falling Over
Just to say we are due to go Ice Skating In Bracknell this wednesday – meet a 7.00 pm in the College Arms for some sliding action.
And There’s More!
Some more photos of people underground (the third trip of that long day) are Here We Go Again…
Welcome New People!
This weekend we mostly:
– Played the stretchy baked bean game and traversed our interior environment
– Got a bit smelly cleaning grease out of the plumbing system in the hut
– Rode Rita, Queen of Speed. Whilst covered in grease.
Oh, and did some caving. Photos (where I remembered to take any) are here. If anyone has any others or wants proper copies etc etc.
Next trip: Derbyshire. Again! Next weekend! Full on! Raaaah!
Quick reminders – furries are still despertately needed, so if you have one BRING IT BACK or we will find you and beat you with both short and long cows tails.
And looking good! If you want a hoody give £15 to John K, or £6 for a T Shirt. (£20 for both)
Tickle It You Wrigglers!
We’re hearing rumours that next Tuesday will play host to some sort of pub-based social activity, to allow effective inter minglling of new and exisitng members. Please clear you diaries for this important event. Details will inevitably follow. Go mingle….
Welcome…
Thanks to eveyone who came along to Fresher’s Fayre. Next up is the slideshow on Monday night.

Fresher’s Fayre
Quick reminder that Fresher’s Fayre is TOMORROW. Set up is 8.30, starts at 11.00. Bring caving club photos, material, silly hats.
Hoodies & T Shirts will be available to exisitng members on the day. Hoodies are £15, T shirts £6, both for £20.
Getting Trapped In Furniture…
Rummaging through the archive we have found exclusive footage of last year’s president J’s attempt at the infamous in-pub 5 bar stool squeeze. Note for potential new members – this is the kind of thing you may end up doing. Be warned. Later on there was crowd surfing. In a small pub. To Abba.
