Starting the morning off, Karen and I met Keith and Pete in the Old Smithy café at Monyash along with Simon Brooks. Karen and I then went the short distance down the road to the Village Hall for a DCA Council Meeting while the other three were heading for Water Icicle Close Cavern to survey the recent progress in the dig.
After the meeting, Karen and I joined the others in Water Icicle Close Cavern. Karen replaced the Carbon Dioxide monitoring log book and also fixed a sign to the gate leading to the new extensions to explain why the gate was there. Since Keith and Pete had improved the connection point beyond Cherty-Two Choke, I was easily able to get through and soon caught up with the three of them as they were finishing the surveying work while Karen took some photos and also caught us up.
After a look at the new stuff, the two of us headed out as by now it was after 16:00 and there was a planned meeting at the OCC Hut around 17:00 to 17:30.
Karen and I got changed and drove to the OCC Hut to find a large crowd there for Jenni Hargreaves's 50th Birthday celebration. We had some of the loads of food laid on and after the meeting to discuss the arrangements for allowing cavers to visit the WICC extensions, the Club Stand at this year's Hidden Earth, whether the Club should have a Training Officer and accommodation for the caving trip to France in September.
After the meeting, the two of us went home to have a shower and feed the cat the returned to the OCC hut to join the Birthday celebrations.
