- | \\ | + | Dear Southern Cavers, |
- | Owing to COVID19, there will not be an event held in the Hunters for 2020 for the presentation of the Silver Shovel for Mendip and Scotland finds, but we don’t want the finds since 1st November 2019 to 31st October 2020 to go unrewarded and unnoticed! | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Our plan is to create a short video for release on the 21st November announcing the winner and celebrating this year’s digging efforts in what can only be described as unusual times. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | We would like to include some footage or photos/text or short powerpoint presentation including a survey of the larger finds, but also to invite any digging teams who wish to send over a short update of theirs too as a bit of a general digging update/ | + | |
- | As per usual, | + | Well it looks like there may be light at the end of the lockdown tunnel as the vaccination programme proceeds at pace and warmer weather |
- | More details of the release will follow nearer the main event... | + | 24 Feb 2021 |

+ | Dear Southern Cavers, | ||
- | As far as CSCC is aware, | + | As all of you are now no doubt aware the UK is now in the throws of the third national lockdown and this places severe restrictions on our hobby. I would draw your attention to the statement made by the CNCC a few days ago (reproduced below), which provides some excellent advice and is applicable down south as it is up north. The CNCC advice reads; |
- | Restrictions may apply to some caves whilst the virus is still prevalent in the community and it is important to respect the wishes of landowners in this regard. | + | 9 Jan 2021 |
- | Access requirements for specific sites can be found in the [[https:// | + | <btn>[[:news: |
