Majorca/Mallorca April.

Mark — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:18:57 +0000

Hey Guys, so by now you should have discovered that ACC is hoping to go to Majorca for our annual easter holiday. since its a lot of peoples last year this year, we want to make it happen and the committee is working hard now to find the best prices to make things happen. so far it looks like it will either be april 9-16th or 16-23rd. 9-16th is cheaper. i have created a facebook group “ACC heads to Majorca”. I have put a more in depth breakdown of costs on that page, so check is out and see what you think. remember we will be booking this in the next couple of weeks and require deposits (tbc) up front in order for us to book stuff. the sooner we do it the cheaper it will be, so we need commitment!

First Social

Mark — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 12:53:35 +0000

Hi guys, remember to come along to our first social of the year this Tuesday 27th september. If you are unsure where to go then check this map out! The socials are held every Tuesday at 9pm starting at The Fountain. We are normally downstairs in the lounge area near to the caving photos. The Fountain is home to the caving challenge which some might suggest is an initiation, however the committee will show how its done first of all!

A small group will meet freshers at the porters lodge reception at around 8 this tuesday and next, and another group in front of spoons at around 8.30.

Come along for a pint or two and meet us!

Provisional Weekend Trips for 2011

Mark — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 20:16:45 +0000

Hi all, ive been trying to work out booking huts and stuff for the coming term. SWCC is already booked for the term, so we are going to hopefully kick start the year off in Croydon (no not the place, the hut!) which is in Ystradfellte, close to Tobys favourites like bridge cave, Pant Mawr and Porth-y-ogof. Hopefully around October 15-16th.

Next is Fireworks weekend, where we are hopefully trying to keep with tradition and staying at the belfry. this is where we can see Luke getting lost on a magical tour of Bristol and Henry throwing giant wood axes at balloons. This will be November 4-5th.

SWCC and Derbyshire will hopefully follow in 2012, along with a long awaited trip down Otter Hole, which we can hopefully sort!

Hidden Earth 2011

Mark — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 20:03:32 +0000

Details for 2011′s Hidden Earth are available. This years event is being held in Monmouth, South Wales on September 23rd-25th. Last years event was a big success, and i would strongly recommend going if you would like to know more about Caving! Because of its convenient location close to the Brecons there is no reason why we cant try and make a weekend out of it and stay in a hut. Currently SWCC is booked, however there are more close by that we could use, Westminster or Whitewalls… There is camping available on site, but this can be decided in the near future…

If there is enough interest then a hut can be booked. Please email me (mkb9) if you would like to go, also I will be sending this out as an email. Please note that the club will not be organising tickets to the event, these you can do yourself. Check there site; http://hidden-earth.org.uk/index2.html

Yorkshire Expedition 2011

Mark — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 23:26:03 +0000

As you are all aware, the new plan for the summer caving getaway is to visit yorkshire where this years CHECC was held and where some fine caves are found. We briefly asked people when they are not available, but i think it would be easier if we could just have anyone who is definately interested to send an email to either Mark mkb9 or Jono jol9 who are staying in Aberystwyth for the time being and have time to try and arrange a trip for everyone.

If there is a lack of enthusiasm then the expedition will unfortunately not go ahead. Currently the thinking is either in these date boundaries; Mid june – Mid July or September, but these could obviously change. Check out the photos from last years Ireland Expedition, we dont want to miss out on another chance to go!
