It is being organized by a joint committee from the DU. Potholing Club and the DIT Caving Club.

dupc@eircom.net or just check this website (it will be
updated as plans for the event are set in stone).
The forum will be run from the village of Doolin, Co. Clare.
Getting to Doolin is very easy as Shannon airport is only 45 minutes by
car & Bus Eireann operate local buses daily all year round.
The organizers of the forum are NOT arranging accommodation: it is up to each individual club
attending to arrange their own. There are plenty of local hostels, campsites and self catering
houses - all available at reasonable prices. click here for a list of accommodation in doolin
In addition to lots of caving, (not to mention drinking!!) the following activities are currently
on the weekends agenda:
- ICRO Rescue practice
- Pub quiz
- SRT race
- Welly throwing
- Mystery morning
- Raffle
- Open forum
- Video showing
- Various guest speakers (It would spoil the surprize if we told you who they were!)
If you dont all ready know - Clare has truck-loads to offer in terms of caving, being one of
Irelands most popular caving regions. Until the UBSS get their ass in gear and publish the long
awaited new edition of 'The caves of co. clare', you'll have to put up with the current edition
- which describes everything from great beginners trips (poll dubh) through to the nasty (poll
a willin), aswell as the typical weekend trips like poll na gollum (Irelands longest cave),
the cullaun caves and many others.
If you would like to sponsor the event / donate some prizes,
