Editorial

The editorial notes that this will be the last edition of Caves & Caving, since the publication is being replaced by the new publication Speleology, under the Editoship of David Gibson. BCRA has been very proactive in suggesting changes in the services to be continued by BCRA, and those to be taken on by the new national body, to be named the British Caving Association. One change is that BCRA is discontinuing the production of a general caving magazine, which has proved increasingly beyond the capabilities of the volunteer effort available, and also far too expensive. Instead a low-level scientific publication Speleology will be produced. It has been suggested that if Cave and Karst Science by analogy were "Science", then Speleology would be like "New Scientist".

BCRA has suggested that its non-scientific activities such as PL insurance, a general caving magazine, organization and underwriting of the national conference and non-scientific regional caving meetings, international/foreign advice, and conservation advice can be transferred to the British Caving Association, with the BCRA-set pre-condition that the BCA has individual membership. BCRA will of course continue to promote cave and karst science as a registered charity.

BCRA will continue to supply:


It is hoped that the BCA "one stop shop" can be implemented from 1st January 2004.
