Action Points
- Push to recruit as many freshers as possible at the upcoming fair. Current
strategy deemed acceptable, but there are inherent problems with a lack of
knowledge of caving as it is not a particularly high profile sport .
- Consider changing trinity TGMs to earlier in the term since absenteeism is
probably due to exam pressure, absenteeism in turn resulted in an
underproductive meeting.
- John Pybus to update club accounts. Perhaps help is needed?
- President’s invite. The club would like to remind members that during
25-27 November all members past and present are invited to the old school
house, Chapel le Dale for a relaxed weekend with optional caving.
