Members from ACC will be walking 75 miles from Aberystwyth to the SWCC in Penwyllt to raise money for the Cave Rescue Organisation, which will be celebrating its 75th Anniversary in August. The walk will take four days from the 10th – 13th of August, covering the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons. Please donate to this worthy cause: June 25th, 2010
Rich has for the past ‘few’ years been collecting, scanning, typing (with the help of a few others) and re-editing all the back issues of Thrutch – the magazine of the Aberystwyth Caving Club. All issues are now available online to view for your enjoyment. This has been no small task, so good effort Rich. Now how about Eugene? June 23rd, 2010

 Who wants to get pissed? Proper job! Exeter USS have invited us to Devon for the weekend of the 18th June. We are staying in a stone barn, in the legendary Buckfastleigh, famous for its pissed monks, and visiting the caverns of Afton red rift, the cider barn, Pridhamsleigh and the beach. Exeter are sorting food, and they DO NOT do food on Fridays, so bring your own. accommodation is £5.00 a night, though the final price will depend on your fuel bill, determined by where you are. If you want to come get in touch (please please please get in touch. I need to pass this on, plus it makes me happy). if you’re out of Aber you A) suck and B) need to organise your own transport. And if you can’t get enough of Devon in one weekend, Henry has invited people to stay at his parents house near Barnstaple for a few days afterwards. All welcome. June 8th, 2010
Date: Saturday 19th June ’10 The Team covers mines rescue across the South and Mid Wales region and this is our annual practice. We’ll be based at the the new HQ for the Mid Wales store/trailer which has camping available (including hot showers etc), wonderful scenery, and lots of sheep! The owner of the farm is an ex-Cardiff Uni Caving Club president, a regular of callouts in the past, and a strong supporter of the Team. We’ll probably organise a barbeque, barrels, etc… so plan for a fun weekend. Many of us are cavers as opposed to miners so there will be LOTS to learn. The North Wales Cave Rescue Team are joining us so it will be an opportunity to work together and pick up skills from others. Blwch Glas has been recommended as the mine of choice for this year’s event. Joel Join the facebook event for more details. May 25th, 2010
