Exclusions
Unfortunately we have had too many freeloaders in the past, enjoying club
benefits and always having excuses for non-payment of subscriptions and
donations. There are expenses sorting out permits, insurance, ropes etc.
therefore with regret the rule is No Pay - No Play.
The Pendle Caving Club Riggers will not take people underground unless they
are bonafide members abiding by our rules.
