SRT Training Weekend, 12-13 July at the GCRG Depot & underground.

• A training workshop is being run for a visiting club at the Depot and others are welcome to join.
• This will cater for total beginners to more experienced cavers as we will have a number of trainers. If time allows, we can organise some rope rescue and rigging exercises too.
• You will need SRT kit + additional karabiners, helmet, old clothes.
• Depending upon weather, we will either aim to go underground on Sunday or practice on a local cliff if we want a sun tan.
• Please contact equipment@gcrg.org.uk if you're interested.

The 2025 AGM will be on Saturday 17 May 2025 at the depot. Please all attend if you can. Further details will be distributed soon by email.

On Sunday 9th March we tried out our new awning for the first time. This was made possible by a number of generous donations including Mike Howell and Trevor Perkins who both through legacies donated funds to the GCRG. We were joined by Dan and Chris, their sons, to mark the occasion.
