We're not intending to offer a non-caving / surface mine activity category unless there is significant demand. This is in part due to not wanting this association to tread on the toes of established clubs. However what the 'full underground member' gives you is the underground BCA insurance that many club controlled mines require for access. Hope that helps. -- No sir, this here will do just fine IP: 83.148.135.213

Land owners are just as twitchy re surface remains of which many on this site will want to access in order to photograph / record - the insurance can help when negotiating with farmers and the like I know.

We founded this society with genuine good intentions. To help people gain legitimate access to locations that require insurance and to help us arrange visits to those many, varied and interesting locations. Response has varied from that it is in competition with existing clubs to it not being a complete enough offering. At some point I'll probably compile all the questions in this thread into a FAQ. -- No sir, this here will do just fine IP: 83.148.135.213

You could also possibly get people to give a talk about different mining/quarrying subjects. Perhaps something similar to 'forwm Tanybwlch' at different locations. I am sure there would be some interest. -- Art thou a figment of mine imagination? Or be I one of thine? IP: 172.203.44.186

Clubs of course do offer talks etc but you have to join I guess adit now is justy a new form of club Mike IP: 82.37.142.6

In 17 years i have been once. There are more in the town about 3 miles on. Also there is the Forum Tanybwlch which has been going for about 30 odd years. I try to go when i can. Originaly they got an ex miner, tracklayer etc etc that worked or was working at a slate or other mine/quarry to have a general chat about their experience, and it was recorded on tape and kept safely. I am sure many of us would be interested in for example Jagman giving a talk about his experience over the years of mine exploration. Or someone talking about some cave network in Yorkshire etc. etc. I don't know how it would work as we are scatterd all over the country. Just an idea that came to mind. -- Art thou a figment of mine imagination? Or be I one of thine? IP: 195.93.21.71

The BCA administrator has been away for a week so hopefully the membership cards will be processed next week. Will PM you all as soon as I hear. Technically you're insured from the date of the payment (as I understand it) but it's nice to have the card in your hand -- No sir, this here will do just fine IP: 83.148.135.213

Read the small print if you are insured, you may be pleasantly suprised! IP: 92.8.17.72

Read the small print if you are insured, you may be pleasantly suprised! I would be very suprised if a household policy includes the land owners indeminty bit, which is the crucial point as far as the site owner is concerned, not any visitors personal liabilty insurance. As far as I know, the BCA policy is pretty unique in providing this. -- If things dunner change - the'll stop as the' are. IP: 91.110.118.66 Edited: 25/05/2008 18:25:28 by Mr.C

It is a commercial/business policy that I have that covers these aspects. The BCA policy at £6 appears a snip compared with mine!! IP: 92.8.17.72

Renew online here if required: [web link] if no longer required then please just drop me an email or PM so I can take you off the list. -- Before you judge someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.

First batch of payments to the BCA will go off on Monday so membership cards will be back very shortly after. If anybody else (new or renew) wants the insurance and to be in the first batch could you please renew by Sunday night? Thanks -- Before you judge someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
