Caving
Southampton Uni Caving Club gives you the opportunity to go to amazing places that few people have been to before, challenge yourself and meet lots of interesting new people. Almost everyone that joins the club starts off with absolutely no caving experience, so don't let that deter you. We have socials every Wednesday if you want to come along and meet us! For more information and announcements on upcoming trips and socials, please join our WhatsApp group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/CI3dg6eXEsFCPxyiiJHXFR

| Name | Cost | Valid Period | Details | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year Caving Membership | £42.00 | 22/09/2025 - 31/07/2026 | A £42 membership for the entire year. This goes towards British Caving Association (BCA) membership which includes liability insurance and is a requirement for us to take you into any caves. As a member you get to come on trips, access to caving kit, and caving information resources. The rest of the money is used to fund our kit costs/maintenance with the remainder going towards social and welfare events | |
| Semester 1 Caving Membership | £29.00 | 23/09/2025 - 26/01/2026 | A £29 membership just for semester one. Most of this goes towards British Caving Association (BCA) insurance which is a requirement for us to take you into any caves. As a member you get to come on trips, access to caving kit, and caving information resources. The rest of the money is used to fund our kit costs and maintenance with the remainder going towards socials and welfare activities. This membership gives you the same access as the yearly membership just for semester one. | |
| Year membership excluding BCA membership | £30.00 | 22/09/2025 - 31/07/2026 | A year-long membership that doesn't include BCA membership. This is targeted at people who still wish to be a member of the club and borrow the club kit but have obtained their membership through other means, whether that be through another club or individually. | |
| Social Year Membership | £5.00 | 22/09/2025 - 31/07/2026 | A year long social membership. This social membership allows you to turn up to social and welfare events but it does not include BCA membership or allow you to hire/borrow club so with this membership you will not be allowed to come on any day/weekend trips but you can come along to all other non-caving events. |
