Cave Surveying Workshop
CUCC is organising a *cave surveying workshop* for you to learn how to make cave surveys. This is part of the Expo training activities, it will be held in Cambridge, and *anyone interested can participate*.
It will be on *Tuesday 25th of June* in the evening (circa 6.30 - 9pm). A second session for those interested in contributing to the Expo website and in further details of cave-computing will be held the week after, *Tuesday 2nd of July*.
The workshop in the 25th will cover the whole *process from scratch* and it will be half *practical* (see the outline below). By the end of the workshop you'll know what material is needed, all the steps involved in the process, and how to get the data into the computer.
It'll be instructed by Wookey, myself, possibly Julian Todd, and with the aid of other committee members for the practical. We can accommodate about 10 people.
Are you *interested* in the whole thing or in parts of it? Please reply ASAP to caving-web@srcf.net to sign up or to show your interest, so that we can estimate numbers.
Feel free to circulate this message among people that might be interested.
PD: needless to say but just in case: the workshop is gratis
