Squash
The CUCC squash (introductory meeting) will be on Monday 11th October 2010 at 7pm in Pembroke College New Cellars, and will run until 10pm (but we know you are busy this week - just come and go whenever you want during this time).
It is mainly a chance to meet the current CUCC members who will answer any questions you have and explain generally what we do. There will also be a few presentations about caving and videos of the activity, and you can sign up for the first trip of term. And there will be food and drink on the club.
If you can't make it to the squash and still have questions, send one of us an email. And sign up to the Mailing List...

How does a typical weekend work?
We meet at the tackle store on Friday afternoon/evening to pack gear into cars immediately before leaving. Typically we stop for food at pizza/fish&chips/kebab/chinese places on the way to the hut (take some money along for this or carry your own sandwiches).
On Saturday we cook communal breakfast and arrange the teams for the various trips of the day. Caves can be within walking distance or they might require a short drive, so off we go caving! After caving we get back to the hut where people will help to cook communal supper, and then recount the day's adventures over a beer or two. If there is a local pub we might go there, or play silly games in the hut.
On Sunday we have communal breakfast and then go caving again, or alternatively go walking or eat cake in local shops. It really depends on how tired you are from the previous day, and cavers are normally very flexible. Sometimes we manage to do all three things in a single day! Roughly at mid afternoon we set off to drive back to Cambridge. Sometimes we stop to eat a hot meal; curry is the favourite choice (take along some more money for this).
If you want more information about caving you could read our Guide to Novice Caving.
