This years event was an outstanding success! Over 240 people attended for a weekend full of caving and partying. Two CIC's provided SRT training to anyone who wanted it, ranging from basic to advanced techniques. A large marquee in the car park provided cover for games, music and a large disco on saturday night (as well as a mud-wrestling arena later in the night..). The bar was expanded this year to sell Vodka, wine and cider in addition to the staple supply of beer and the vodka in particular went down very well indeed and everyone was well fed for breakfast and the BBQ on saturday night.
