<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Every 4 years, cavers and cave scientists from
all over the world gather for this event, the International Congress of
Speleology which this time will be in Athens, Greece in August 2005. The
Congress includes somewhat more events than an NSS Convention, or any other
similar event worldwide, has its own style, and allows you to meet cavers and
ideas from outside your country. And there are caving camps before and after the
Congress that take you to caves that you would never see otherwise. Don't worry
about not speaking Greek. Much of a Congress is in English wherever it is. IF
YOU ARE INTERESTED, START GETTING YOUR PASSPORT SOON (since that can be very
slow). For more information, visit the Congress web site at </FONT><A
