2012 BCRA Cave Technology Symposium
-----------------------------------

*** change of date from that previously announced ***

BCRA's Cave Technology Symposium will be held in the vicinity of Priddy,
Somerset, over the weekend of 9th/10th June 2012. As a companion to the
Cave Science Symposium, this event concentrates on areas of cave
technology including, but not limited to, lighting, photography and
video, cave radio and other forms of communications, surveying, data
logging, explosives, electronics, radio location, and rescue.

With the growing popularity of the Cave Technology Symposium, now in its
sixth year, we have decided to extend the event from one to two days to
provide opportunity for practical demonstrations in addition to talks.
The practical sessions will take place on Saturday 9th June and the
formal presentations will be on Sunday 10th June. Admission is free to
BCRA members and speakers or GBP 3.00 for non-members for either or both
days.

Since the venue(s) for the practical sessions will depend on what
demonstrations are offered, if you would like to attend, please contact
the Lecture Secretary, Mike Bedford, who will provide you with details
closer to the date. On the Sunday we will meet at the Hunter's Lodge
pub, Priddy (postcode BA5 3AR) at 9:00 and will finish at 16:00. Coffee
and tea will be provided at nominal cost and meals are available in the
pub at lunch time. Accommodation has been reserved at the nearby Wessex
Caving club (postcode BA5 3AX) for the Friday and Saturday nights. If
you'd like to book accommodation, please contact Allan Richardson at
mailto:a.richardson at bcra.org.uk.

For further information or to offer a talk, poster presentation or
practical demonstration, please contact the Lecture Secretary, Mike
Bedford, at mailto:BedfordMD at aol.com.
