Membership is made up of in excess of 40 clubs based all over the southern part of the country and although the council is mainly concerned with Mendip, it is the Regional Body for South England, and is a constituent member of the [[http://british-caving.org.uk|British Caving Association]] (BCA). | + | BCRC have issued a press release on the coronavirus giving guidance should a return to underground activity become available.
