Membership Details
Thank you for your interest in the club! In order to join in with WRPC activities you must be at least 16 and become a Probationary Member.
Probationary Membership lasts for 6 months. During this time you must attend THREE official club trips underground (there is at least one per month, normally on a Sunday), be able to tie a bowline knot, and have satisfied the Executive Committee that you are both safe underground and compatible with other members. When you have completed these requirements your name is put before the Committee again, and if accepted you become a Full Member.
Members of the club go caving most weekends, and the club can obtain permits for any caves you specially want to visit. We have a wealth of underground expertise, and many of our members are also in Cave Rescue.
Special trips are arranged for beginners, and we provide all necessary equipment. Full Membership entitles you to:
- Free loan of all club equipment
- Discounts at some caving shops
- BCRA insurance cover underground
- Access to the books and surveys in the voluminous club library
- The right to wear club badges and insignia
- The right to attend club trips abroad
- Access to specialist training in such things a Single Rope Technique (SRT), Sump Diving, Underground Photography, Digging & exploration, plus many more
- Free Club Newsletter
There is a club dinner held after the AGM, plus ceilidhs, barn dances and parties. There are also family outings and camping, all this organised by our Social Secretary. If your application is successful we will mail you a list of members so you can contact anyone in the club easily. The annual subscriptions for 2008 are currently:
- Full Membership £26.00 Full
- Full Membership Joining Fee £2.50 (once only payment on upgrading from Probationary to Full Membership)
- Social Member £9.00 Join the club and attend socail events, receive newletters etc, but no caving!
We would be glad for you and your friends to come along straight away. We will provide all necessary tackle, and at least at first will loan you personal gear like lamps, sit-harnesses etc. If you wish to join please fill out an application form (see above) and post it to me along with your Probationary Fee. EMAIL or phone if you wish. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours to the Terminal Sump Abigail Rhodes

 dirtyboy writes "The A.G.M. was the start of a bloody good day out! After this small formality over the White Rose launched onto a great boozing session at the GameCock (or was it Drooping?) All returned to the Dalesbridge for dinner in a slightly overloaded standing room only Tin Tent of mine. The evening was full of GOOD food, good drinking and good company. One of the best dinners ever. A very big thank you to Jon who made this possible. Cheers Jon

| New Finds: Rumbling Hole |
 richard bendall writes "Richard Bendall(WRPC) and compadre Dave Ramsay(RRCPC) have been enjoying significant success. A series of nine pitches, with three alternative routes, 118m depth, some 350m of passage and the game’s not up yet!
We have been installing 10mm Stainless Steel through bolts and hangers that will be left in place. The total spend on what will be left in so far exceeds £160.
Hence notice to the club, kindred clubs and cavers generally. We are looking for contributions to cover this cost. We are not asking to cover the cost of expendables like caps, cheap “disposable” bolts for scaling and that type of thing. Only the cost of what will be left when we leave, to benefit all cavers wishing to enjoy this fine, challenging cave.
So, when it comes to the next Committee Meeting I would hope for a positive outcome to this request. (Invoices can be supplied.)"

| Trips: Dale Head Pot entrance |
 philp writes "As Ian (Cummins) wrote "....many people think its entrance is still
collapsed...." but it is not, courtesy of the work of Mike Cooper and
Dalek during the production of "Not for the Faint-Hearted".
More recently - Sunday 4th November - a team of four started work on
stabilisation of the Dig Climb. The day went well, lots of scaffold
being cut to length (the delights of an angle grinder as opposed to the
horrors of the hacksaw blade) and fitted in place. One more day should
see the work complete.
