Thruth re-released

Henry — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 09:44:56 +0000

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?

We’ve received flyers for this year’s Hidden Earth, to be held in Leek, Staffordshire. The cover photo is from Diccan Pot.

For more details visit their website
hidden-earth.org.uk.

(To view the text, open the photo then click to zoom to actual size in the bottom right.)

I will try and bring them along to the next social for people.

More Club Clothing and Oh Henry

Oli — Thu, 06 May 2010 18:43:49 +0000

Rural Devon’s bus service leaves much to be desired. Where I’m from they come in threes, and so it is with ACC clothing. Matt and Ian at Beast have made us up some ACC branded belay belts. They are selling like hot cakes, so if you want one email Oli asap and give her the requisite 15 squid. Check out Beast Products for tackle sacks and the like. It was Matt who hurt himself at the weekend, so they clearly make gear you can believe in.

Oli is far more likely to sell you a belay belt if you’ve submitted your Oh Henry article. Get writing kids.

Chris has got hold of some heavy duty sacks for people who don’t have Bernies bags, so if you want some Animal feed scented caving kit get in touch (cheers for those Daf).

Welsh Caves Registry

Henry — Thu, 06 May 2010 16:41:48 +0000

From the ogof.org.uk website, you can now download a Google Earth file to view the locations of the majority of Welsh caves and digs. Useful if you need to know exactly where entrances are…

The file can be found here

2010 HOODY

timmywiff — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 12:46:59 +0000

Hello fellow cavers, the design for the 2010 Hoody is now up. The design is not a new design but it keeps things simple and doesn’t take too much faffing in exam times.

From next year I will make sure that the hoodys are available to Freshers, whether it’s me in charge of them or someone else. I aim to have the hoodys ready for the AGM.

Any thoughts or ideas are welcome.

Tim, El Pres.
