The Spring 2018 issue of The Derbyshire Caver is now available. This is the first to be produced as a free download from the DCA website rather than as a printed copy posted out to members and is now in full colour. Back issues from 2005 onward are also available for download. Clubs can opt for a printed copy for their library if they wish and individuals can still subscribe to receive a printed copy for £10 per 4 issues. This initiative will save the cost of printing and postage which had become unsustainable, releasing more DCA funds for conservation, access, etc. I do hope that large numbers of Peak District cavers and mine explorers will support the DCA by downloading the publication (and perhaps even joining DCA!).
