Reading University Caving Club

Fantastic news!  If you go into Google and type in ‘speleoporn’ you get one result!

This is definitely something we can impress other clubs with at CHECC. My work here is done.

And we’ve have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for that pesky local newshound….

Just found this on the internet. I’m shocked and appalled…

On a separate please note that the South Wales trip (17th-19th June) has been changed to 24th-26th June as it clashes with the summer ball. The next trip is Yorkshire 27th-30th May (Bank Holiday!) Let Charlotte know if you want to come on either of the trips. In the meantime, best of luck to anyone grappling with exams.

NEWS FEST! Three things:

1 We have some new shirt ideas here. Top work! May need some refinement  but I think the idea is there.

2 Ever wondered what your favourite caving club members look like when their face is superimposed with a potato based snack? Yes, us too…

3 Congratulations to Marie and Kay who have now jumped out of a plane for charity and have lived to collect the money from you all.

We are thrilled to announce the Great RUCC Junkyard Sale! Yes, its spring cleaning time and we’ve taken the opportunity to use the magic of ebay to list numerous items that we think deserve new owners. The purpose of this exercise is to raise enough cash for at least half a club night out in a top Reading nitespot. You can monitor progress of the sale on this site and by looking at the online appeal crapometer.  If you have any items you would like to donate please let us know. We will also be offering a selection of pre-loved caving gear once we have looked in the darker recesses of the hut. We just haven’t plucked up the courage yet.

STOP PRESS! Seven bids on the pound coin so far. In response to a request for photos we have also prepared this little insight – a day in the life of our pound coin. We’re getting quite fond of it.

we present ‘Cavers In Silly Hats’. We have a long and illustrious history of looking rather fetching in assorted headgear, and this is a simple tribute to those members out there that have kept this tradition going. More please.

Cos we’ve worked out how to, here’s another short video, showing J & Tom solving that sleep in the car/sleep in the tent conundrum. The exit reminds me of the Dukes of Hazzard, only slower and more crap. More of this please.

On a separate note it’s J’s leaving do (forever!) and Mark H’s brief return gig in the Back of Beyond, Reading tomorrow from 7.30. Hey, another double celebration!

As promised, a short (1Mb 30 second) instructional video starring Mr Tom Foord can be found here. It shows him demonstrating his soon-to-be-famous ‘jammer jammer jammer’ dance, falling over and then toppling out of a wheelchair. Top work. This is the first time I’ve worked with the medium of video, if it doesn’t work let me know.

On a separate note I managed to delete the entire photo archive today, hence is back up in streamlined and augmented form. Hence some new photos.
