Membership and insurance

As a novice the club will generously subsidise you for a 17 days temporary insurance (in case you are wondering this costs the club £3). This will allow you to come to training for free and won't load on your meets fees for a total of 2 weeks. If after two weeks you want more then you will have to pay a club membership fee and yearly insurance.

If you are new this year this is going to sum up to £20. The fees are:

Concept Period Student rate Non Student rate
Club Membership 1 year (Oct 13-Oct 14) £10 £10
Insurance 16 months (Oct 13-Dec 14) £10 £21.25
1 year (Jan 14-Dec 14) £8 £17

Meets

The fees of meets are £40 for Fri/Sun weekend-meets (excludes gear rental, see rental fees below). Fees include transport, food and accommodation. One day meets are held at the beginning of the year and are charged at a special rate.

You will need to bring some extra money for food (or some actual food) whilst travelling to and for the meet (£10 should cover it), and for sundries during the weekend, as we sometimes go to the pub after a trip.

The club's Meet Accounting Policy gives full details of the costs.

Equipment

Gear rental fees per day of use underground:

  • £0.50 Light
  • £1.50 Undersuit, oversuit, helmet, wellies, knepads, belt
  • £1.00 SRT kit, harness

For the 3 first meets you won't need vertical (SRT) equipment, as we will be using ladders.

You will borrow all the caving equipment you need from the club. You can carry on renting CUCC gear for as long as you need but at some point you will want to buy your own so you get stuff that actually fits properly. This is usually done in stages as the whole lot is quite expensive: wellies, undersuit, oversuit, kneepads (£120); SRT kit (£180); Helmet and Light (£120).

Questions?

If you have questions please contact the junior treasurer.
