Foreword
The club continues to generate interest judging from the responses the Editor receives from the website. Yet still there are no articles received for the Newsletter. A contribution is needed from you the member, as the Newsletter cannot continue on the basis of the Editor writing articles. By definition an Editor edits received articles, please send some to me so I can include them in a future Newsletter. This Newsletter has been composed from a memo sent out to members by Peter Wilson and by your Editor.
Library.
Library cataloguing is still under way with more and more missing items being noted. If anyone has any BCC Library items lying around at home or knows of the whereabouts of any BCC Library items, please contact the Librarian or any BCC Committee member. Barnoldswick Library has donated a Yorkshire Dales Lead mining book. BCRA & Descent publications have been received. Anybody with unwanted caving magazines or books will be gratefully received please contact the
Trip reports.
No trip reports, as the Editor hasn't received any! Due to the recent Committee member moves detailed below fewer caving trips and less contact with members has lead to a shortage of the above. Please send your reports to the editor for inclusion in the Newsletter.
Treasurers News
Shaun the BCC Treasurer has opened a new account for Burnley Caving Club at the HSBC plc. He can be contacted at
The signatories for the account are Simon Mitchell, Shaun Purser, Peter Wilson and Wayne Brown. The Yorkshire Bank current account and saving account together with the Abbey National saving account are in the process of being closed by the former Treasurer Trevor Howarth. So there will be only one account with HSBC eventually.People on the move.
The Tacklemaster has moved house together with Liz Wordsworth and they have agreed to continue looking after the club tackle. For borrowing tackle or arranging caving tips contact Chris at
The club lamps are currently not reliable and it is proposed to obtain new cells in the near future. These will be under the control of Keith Taylor at the clubroom Burnley.
Your editor has moved house down to the foreign region of Derbyshire new contact details as above. Hopefully the production of the Newsletter and maintenance of the BCC website will continue as before. Simon Mitchell will take over the production of the club newsletter.
The only difference will be the editor's non-attendance on Thursday evenings. Therefore it is hoped that articles, news and contact with the Editor will be maintained by , post and phone.
Forthcoming Meets.
The club meets list this year has been a bit of shambles to date. We need a definite programme especially if we are to attract new members.

We have the following permits remaining for the year, Robinson's Pot Saturday 13th Sept., Notts Pot 21st Sept. Short Drop & Gavel Pot. 26th Oct., Lost Johns Cave 14th Dec.

We have recently had the following new members join the club: - Ash St John-Claire and Alison Gedling welcome to them both. Prospective members Beverly Bolton and Denise Burns have been along with the above.
Subscriptions from some existing members are over due.
Peter Macmullan of Perth, Australia has renewed his subs good on yer, Pete.
Club Contact
Carole Millington has contacted BCC via the website with the following message: Hi all, I am from Burnley, used to be a member of Clapham Cave Rescue and cave with BCC members' etc. We moved to Skye in 95 and are extremely happy here. Les and I do a lot of walking and have our own boat now for fishing. I do miss everyone and of course the caving. There are caves on Skye but I have been spoiled by the one's in Yorkshire. Would love to hear from anyone. I have thoroughly enjoyed the site. Take care and enjoy the caving. Carole.
