Reading University Caving Club

About
Reading University Caving Club was founded in 1968, and operates under the auspices of the Reading University Student Union (RUSU) Sports Federation. It offers membership to both students of Reading University and to the general public, which must be renewed each year. The club maintains a tackle store and organises around 10 weekend trips each year, mostly to the Mendips and South Wales, meaning that SRT is less used than in other clubs, but also to Yorkshire and the Peak District. The club is very active socially, and holds it's AGM towards the end of the Spring term. In addition to the core positions of President, Secretary and Treasurer required by the Students' Union, there is also a Tacklemaster, Webmaster and Social Secretary, Cake Secretary, Permit Secretary and Training Officer.

The club is affiliated with the CHECC, and has attended the Forum ever since 2003. Reading missed the first Student Caving Seminar in 2002 because they were attending the Priddy Fireworks, despite some members being involved in the planning.
