Members weekend: Cupcake and wizards chasm

This weekend we are aiming to visit some cave  exotica, to give them some well deserved love.

Cave 1 of the weekend - Cupcake https://cncc.org.uk/cave/cupcake,the-cupcake

Cave 2 of the weekend - Wizards Chasm https://cncc.org.uk/cave/wizards-chasm

Depending on numbers we hope to run both caves on Saturday and leave Sunday more flexible.

Bring “exotic” snacks and alcoholic beverages for the Friday night.

AGM

8 p.m. in Clapham Village Hall; Darren has arranged a pizza takeaway. See the below email.

 

Good Afternoon, 

Our AGM is coming up on the Saturday 9th November 2024, this will take place at Clapham Village Hall. This year we will not have access the kitchen as the council is putting on an art show (I know right…) 

So instead we will be looking at ordering from the lovely Ingleton Pizza for the pre-agm meal.

To try and get the best choices for everyone attending please can you complete the below google poll: 

https://forms.gle/aUDSHmxRa7HorKNv5 

This will be the low price of £6 per person, that way there will sure to be plenty to go around. Please can this be brought to the AGM weekend, ideally in cash  

For desert if attendees would like to bring something if possible and we can all dig in but not required and i'm sure there will be enough 

Any questions feel free to call or email 

Kind regards 

Darren (Social Sec) Jarvis

Members weekend: Large Pot and Sell Gill Holes

Large Pot you hear me exclaim! It's massive… or is it really tight? It's exact characters elude me I must admit…. Well we can have that! It's due a visit to jog my memory 🥸.

Don't feel like putting yourself through the tight first pitch of Large (honestly it's not that bad.. probably…)? Then I have you covered my fellow cavers; we have an excellent exchange trip in Sell Gill holes planned.

https://cncc.org.uk/cave/sell-gill-holes

Again, I am leaving the Sunday flexible. I am thinking a wee walk/run (if I can tempt you) or a inglesport cafe round trip…. Or, shock horror 🙀 both!

The snack theme is Large sharing options (think tear and share garlic bread) l look forward to seeing you my intrepid friends.

December 30th - January 3rd 2025

New Year at the NPC: So many caves! So much food!

Caves! Wines! Food! The three founding principles of the Northern Pennine Club (or so I am unreliability informed). With this in mind cordially invite you to celebrate the new year with us.

What to bring? My good fellow it's a party and accordingly you are charged to bring a sharing dish of your choice and copious amounts of wine, beer and all things tasty.

Caves planned:

30th - more details to follow.

 

31st new years eve - With the need to cook all that tasty tasty food, I think a couple of shorter but still excellent trips are in order. Hull pot and Bull pot come to mind (more cave available depending on demand).

1st hangover recovery day- I am guessing there is a strong possibility that you might be hungover today 😜 but the fun goes on.

 For those of you needing a fresh air injection I have a Pen-y-gnt and Plover hill round trip planned.
