Please note that no music may be played on the camp-site at any time and that you should keep your valuables secure. (The organisers will not accept any responsibility for loss, theft or damage). Please note that we have a policy at venues of “no dogs except guide dogs”.

Speleo-Olympics: Grab a mate and try the caver assault course, with the prospect of winning a bottle of champagne and your names on the trophy. (The event will take place at times throughout the weekend, in the exhibition area).

SRT Competitions: Prusik race, and assault course (passing re-belays), tackle-bag stuffing and, in remembrance of pre-SRT days, a ladder climbing race. Men’s and women’s prizes in each category. Once again, these competitions are organised by Mark Wright Training, who will be offering the prize of a complete set of SRT kit to the overall winner. The event will take place at announced times throughout the weekend, in the exhibition area.

Saturday Evening: As in previous years there is a dinner for which you need to book in advance. The guest speaker this year will be Alan Jeffreys (‘Goon’). After the dinner there will be the usual Stomp and Bar. This year, entry to the Stomp is free (but admission is to conference delegates only). This year the stomp will include a disco by Basher and DJ Eddy Sharp Pencil with Bill Sherrington accompanying.
