UBSS Online Newsletter - April 2025
In this issue of the Newsletter, Hon President Elaine Oliver has set an extremely high bar for being Well ‘Ard and draws parallels between running across the Sahara and caving expos. She’s also demonstrated the most extreme example of the expression ‘mission creep’ we’ve ever seen. And the moral of that story is clear … don’t let Imogen convince you to go running with her, as you never know where you might end up! There’s also the tale of a surprisingly faff-free trip to Yorkshire involving 19 members from all over the country and a vast amount of goulash.
You can browse the newsletters using the dropdown lists on the left (or press ‘Menu’ on mobile).
The archive is also searchable.
The Monthly Online Newsletter
Since the beginning of 2019, we have produced a Monthly Email Newsletter which is sent to all members and other interested parties. Contents include the latest caving trips, slander/gossip, information on caving in general and the activities of the Society. Contributions of any nature (illustrations will particularly impress everyone!) are welcome and should be passed either to the newsletter editor or the secretary.
The Printed Newsletter Archive
Prior to 2019, the Newsletters were all in printed form, but all the known issues have been scanned and a full archive is available in this section. These cover the Society’s activities from 1919 to 2017 and are chock-full of interesting articles. Well worth a read.
Many of the printed Newsletters will not show up in the searchable archive; however a full bibliographic index of these has been compiled by Rosie Daniels and can be downloaded from here.
