Ongoing GSS Projects - Slad Brook
Joe has agreed to do another survey job in the next valley, under an industrial estate that also got flooded (during the recent floods in the area). It's halfway up a hill, but a blockage lower down did for them!

As Joe puts it "It makes a change, doing these good deeds (and front-page ones at that), from 'bloody potholers, always getting into trouble and having to get rescued at taxpayers expense...'".

There is a new photo of the Slad Brook team whch can be found in the Slad Brook section of Other Galleries in the GSS Gallery.

Proposed Trip - Florence Iron Mine:
Florence Iron Mine
This mine, located in Egremont, Cumbria is the last working iron ore mine in the UK and possibly Europe. The club is looking to arrange a visit in early 2008 but needs a party of 10 people before doing so.

This is a unique opportunity to get visit this mine while it is still open and working. Be quick as places will go fast. Contact Jon Maisey (jon.maisey@btinternet.com) for further details.

Ongoing GSS Projects - Slad Brook
The GSS has taken on the task to survey part of the Slad Brook. Slad Brook runs underneath part of Stroud and because of a probable blockage at some point has been partially responsible for some of the recent major flooding occuring in this area. 

One visit has already been made by Joe, Danny, Jon, Trev, Christopher and Rebecca. Follow-up trips are also planned and the club has been given a welcome donation by the Slad Brook Action Group. You can view photos from the first trip in the Slad Brook section of Other Galleries in the GSS Gallery.
