C.P.S.S would like to invite you to our monthly social.

We will be showing a Picture DVD of a Swiss & Italian team's expedition earlier this year to Dragon's breath and several other systems around Namibia.

Tea and coffee will be served afterwards.

Dear Members
 
The club is looking for a new person to take on the role of tackle officer for the clubs gear. Alan Butcher has kindly been the Tackle office for most of his time during the support of CPSS (about 25 years)
 
The person need to have a fair amount of space and needs to be fairly centrally located so that the gear can be accessed when needed for a meet or for rescue call outs.
 
The gear would consist of Rope, Ladders, cables, Helmets, head lamps, biners & slings and some ascenders and descenders.
 
Please let the committee know if you would be interested.
Hi All
 
The next upcoming meet will be on Sunday, 7th August 2011.
 
Come and enjoy a day outdoors. There are 6 small caves that are known of near the sea , south of Steenbras River mouth, but there may be more.
 
These are small and not necessarily requiring a helmet, but come and see.
 
Please contact Ron Zeeman if you will be attending.
 
Once some numbers have been confirmed, arrangements on where to meet can be decided and confirmed.
Hi All
 
The July meet that was meant to take place on the 2nd July has been re-scheduled to Saturday,  the 16th July.
 
I managed to get further information on the Manganese mine as well as a cross section diagram, the mine has several horizontal shafts with one that joins to a second horizontal shaft with a small vertical space between them. We will not be doing any vertical work, it is more exploration and hiking.
 
There will be quite a bit of hiking involved, please bring a day pack with head lamps / helmets.
 
Please let Raymond know if you will be attending.

Hi All

Please note that the July meet that was meant to take place on Saturday, 2nd July, to the Hout Bay Manganese mines had to be cancelled due to weather.
