We have created an "Articles" section on the main menu.

It will be populated with various articles that members have published over the years as well as stories of caving trips.

A thank you goes to Peter Swart of the DarkLife website for allowing us to place the articles on the CPSS site.
 We hope to get some newer stories and articles written for the new site in the future.

The March 2010 newsletter is now online :D

Find it under the "Newsletters" section or on the following link: March 2010

The June meet may be moved to another date or cancelled as there is a WSAR training weekend that coincides with this meet.

The majority of members will be away attending the exercise in Cederberg.

A new section called "Newsletters" has been added to the tab menu – it contains the clubs newsletters in PDF format for viewing or download.

The meet report for the Table Mountain meet should be out in the next newsletter. But here is a brief description of the caving trip.

Twelve of us went up on Saturday morning (not to forget Jack and Coco, our two four legged friends) and five of us over-nighted. We started Saturday morning by investigating the top passages of Wynberg entrance 4, there are several ledges and chock stones that can be negotiated before the floor gives way to a pit. Across the pit the ledges return and the passage continues but bends out of site.

Ron knew of a hole along the ridge that also leads in the direction of Wynberg entrance 4, but has a pit that stops one from crossing to the passage beyond. We needed to find a hole in-between both pits, in order to survey some of the passage and decided to leave this for Sunday.
