Events and Meetings

BCRA organises occasional field meetings and seminars as well as an annual Cave
Science symposium. Some of our field meetings are organised by our Special interest Groups,
whilst others are aimed at a more general audience. They are all friendly events at which
academics, students and interested amateur cave scientists attend and give presentations. The
annual Cave Science Symposium is usually followed by a one-day field meeting in the local area.
This page is just a summary of some of our forthcoming events. Our planned events
are also listed on our Google
Calendar
. More detailed information is posted to our News Forum and to our
Facebook page.

Notes for staff
- Unlike the Seminars page, these publicity images do not have a shortcut URL
- If you quote the URL of this page in a Facebook posting, Facebook should 'scrape' the
correct image for the current/next talk, as configured in the JS variable $talk_for_OGI in
meeting_data.js. You can force the scrape by specifying talk=NNN, or talk=sym
in the query string.
