The BCA recommends joining a Caving Club – they’re a fantastic way to enjoy our incredible sport in good company, and they can help you to develop your interests and skills.
BCA Member Clubs
Caving clubs across the UK benefit from their BCA membership, and they’re always looking for new members to get involved.
Note: Clubs marked with an asterisk (*) are Associate member groups, and therefore do not receieve full group membership benefits such as public liability insurance for their members.
Clubs Map
Caving clubs are not always easy to put on a map. If a BCA member club has a club hut, a regular meeting point, or is based at an activity centre, we’ve put it on the map in green. We’ve also tried to locate some of our other clubs based on their address, name, or scout group affiliations, and we’ve put these on the map in yellow.
