UBSS Online Newsletter - December 2025

Wow! From training days, chilli-fuelled socials and international expeditions, this year has been a packed one to remember. Before we close 2025, we have one last newsletter for you all, with trips up north, down south and brilliant Christmas festivities! We can’t wait to hear all your fantastic adventures in the new year… and as always, we are open to any form of speleo storytelling, whether write-ups, videos, drawings, photos, fiction or anything else you can come up with!

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.
