33rd BCRA Cave Science Symposium and field trip

The 33rd BCRA Cave Science Symposium will be held on 8 October 2022 at the Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences, University of Manchester. It is a joint meeting with the Manchester Geological Association. BCRA’s AGM will be held during a break in the Science Symposium at 12:00 to 12:50. An informal evening meal will be arranged for Saturday evening and there will be a field trip to Alderley Edge Mines on Sunday 9 October.

This year’s symposium will include oral and poster presentations covering BCRA’s principal areas of interest. The symposium will be a live event, but we hope to stream it on Zoom as well. The lecture secretary and host of the meeting is Prof. Cathy Hollis, symposium@bcra.org.uk.
