Chairman’s report.
Newsletter is in progress and hope to have in print shortly.
Meets list 2005. We plan to have two club trips per month, one novice and one for the experienced caver. We need feed back from the membership for trips to be included in the list. We would also like a member to act as co-ordinater for the trip. This would entail making the arrangements for tackle with the tacklemaster, arranging a meeting place and being the contact person. If members require more permits for controlled access caves than the list these can be included in the list. We also intend to include other trips of interest and Camping weekends. The list needs to be drawn before the New Year.
The club computer is dead and needs replacing. Simon may be able to get an old lap top for the job.
