UBSS Online Newsletter - July 2026
It’s been another busy speleo-themed month in UBSS, and we know it because we spent half of it chasing you around the country (and beyond) in hopes of a few write-ups for the newsletter. As ever, you pulled through in style, delivering tales from the depths of the Peaks, Mendips, Iceland and Wales, which included a spectacular film of OFD and photography art trips, as well as the normal chaos and faff of any trip… Proof, if any were needed, that this club never sits still for long. Whether you’re traveling to expedition, or relaxing in a pub somewhere, enjoy this issue celebrating caving trips, history, marriages, birthdays and photography- and head over to the puzzle corner to have a go at the cave-themed alphabet soup, you might even be in for a prize!
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.
