The BCA work to promote the joys of underground exploration, because we believe that getting the word out about our amazing sport is key to allow it thrive.
New to Caving
The BCA’s New to Caving website is aimed at those wanting to start out with caving for the very first time. The site points keen cavers towards clubs and organisations that can help make sure that their first underground trips are a success, and highlights the key conservation messages that are so important for our sport.
Publicity
We circulate relevant information nationally aimed at cavers and non-cavers alike, and we fund our Regional Caving Councils in doing the same. We also offer cavers, and other organisations within the caving community, services that may help them publicise themselves and the work that they’re doing.
This aspect of BCA business is managed by our Publications and Information Officer.
Artificial Cave
The British Caving Association have an artificial cave that is available to borrow for events that wish to promote caving. The 12 sections of cave were kindly donated by Entre-Prise in 2011 (www.entre-prises.co.uk). The cave has now been to over 200 events, including village fetes, scout camps, freshers fairs, caving festivals and even a wedding!
The 12 sections of cave can bolted together to make one, or multiple caves of varying degrees of difficulty. It is housed in its own convenient trailer and is available for use by BCA members and organisations for a small fee.
It is stored in Derbyshire but can be booked by events anywhere in the UK.
Bookings are expected to collect the cave, tow it, set it up, staff it and return it themselves.
If you are interested in booking the cave, or would like more information , please email:
