The End of An Era? And so it comes to an end. The brand new RU Cavers site has now been launched - you can view it at www.rucavers.co.uk. This old version of the site has served us well over the last 8 years - however it is now time to say goodbye. However the old version will continue to remain accessible from old.rucavers.co.uk. Please bear in mind that this area will not be updated - for all the latest news and information about the Reading University Caving Club, you should visit the current site.
