Editorial

The Spring and Summer issues have been combined to help overcome the delay due to past production difficulties and the changeover of editors. This is the first editorial of the new Editor, Ian Ellis Chandler. Mention is made of the discussions underway between BCRA and NCA regarding the future structure of British caving.
