Social | Zoom | Join us at 7pm on THURSDAY 17 October for a Zoom Calendar planning meeting. Who should attend? All members/leaders. What will happen, we'll look at the calendar for May - July and discuss proposed trips (1) if you're not a leader, you can suggest trips that you'd like to do and hopefully someone will put their hand up to lead the trip for you; (2) Leaders will be able to gauge the appetite for a trip they might have in mind; (3) everyone will have the opportunity to express interest in the trips (and your name will be noted to secure your place). This is not a "sit around and talk about trips and then nothing happens" meeting, have your calendar/diary in place during the meeting and suggest actual dates. Think about your wish list and "save the date" - link and a reminder will be sent out on the week prior to the meeting |

Easy - Medium | Borenore | This is a multi club event with Orange Speleological Society taking us to some caves on private property. The caves will not be difficult and it's a good opportunity for beginners. We'll be car camping at Molong Showground, $20/night for 2 people, water, electricity toilets and hot showers available (https://www.molongshow.com/camping.html). This trip coincides with the Orange Wine Festival ... let your imagination run away with you! Join us on Saturday morning, or drive up on Friday evening for a more relaxing experience (and visit the Orange Wine Festival Night Market). Non cavers & non member partners welcome, whilst we are caving there are lots of vinyards to explore and there'll be a BBQ social dinner on Saturday night. Bookings will need to be made for the campsites so rsvp asap. Car Pooling for those without vehicles will be available if logistically possible. |
