Want to be SRT-ready for Spring 2025?

As always, these are advertised to our mailing list in advance of social media. Our subscribers have already taken several spaces (and a few entire workshops), but there is still availability across most of the sessions.

We are also pleased to also announce our new new-to-caving event:

Sunday 1st December – New to Caving

These events provide an opportunity to try caving as part of a friendly team. If you think caving might be the right hobby for you (or anyone who you know), this is a great chance to try it out with lots of friendly support and education.

More information about our new-to-caving events HERE.

These workshops are currently being run in partnership with our commercial instructors. However, we would love to partner with local clubs to run these too (thank you to the Red Rose, CPC and YSS who have run these in the past). We can organise signup, payment and advertise the event, before handing over to you closer to the time to take people on a trip and perhaps inspire them to get involved with your club or group. Plus, this is a good chance to raise some club funds too. If you would like to partner with us to run a new-to-caving event, please get in touch with training@cncc.org.uk to discuss.
