Reading University Caving Club

This Friday we mostly went indoor skydiving in Milton Keynes, in honour of Marie leaving us. Next up – Charlotte wants to go bobsleighing. In Bath. Any takers?

Couple of other things – next trip is next weekend, and if anyone has any photos of previous trips could you get them to me.

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.

If you havent guessed we’ve made it big.

NEWS UP:

1) HIDDEN EARTH is on 23-25 September (the weekend after next). Numerous RUCC emissaries will be in attendance, not least me & John K, together with several wrinkly old past members such as Andy Rumming & Old Man Foord. Lifts will be available (cars, not alternatives to stairs), and its camping (tents, not mincing). This is your chance for a knees up and an eyes down on caving related stuff. Lots of other clubs will be there and Andy & I also promise to look stupid and behave strangely for the duration of the event.

2) T SHIRTS & HOODIES ARE AT THE PRINTERS! Only 12 of each are due initially, with a fair chunk already promised to beautiful people. If you are interested please let me/John K know.

3) As an extra incentive to use the forum we are running a fantastic competition! Following on from the gripping ‘Who’s Pants’ debate we present ‘Name That Word!’

How it works: The forum is set up to replace certain words with others automatically. Register, enter one of these words, notice the change, tell us what it is and you could win one of the following toptastic prizes:

– A limited edition Speleolabs Precision Hydration Receptacle!
– An electric bubble maker!
– Enough Fruity Pops to kill a small horse!

Your clue for this evening: What is the link between Sir Walter Raleigh & Boney M? If no one gets it more clues will inevitably be posted on the forum over time for the hard of understanding. Go Play!

Here’s a list of places, caves and pubs what we have frequented over the past year, as compiled by John K. We appear to have been quite busy.

Blimey. Just found this.

Firstly I’m reasonably confident that the wetsuit modelled third from left is still with us and was recently experimented with by former president Henry, as shown. Unfortunately whilst most of him went in the odd dangly bit didn’t.

Secondly you will of course note that the 1970 photo was taken outside SWCC, which eerily enough is where we are going this  weekend. Hang on, I can feel a historical re-enactment coming on…..

And come to think of it that rope looks awfully familiar.
