This file does a check of the seminar data in PHP. You can also check it with JavaScript.
NOTE: The dual-purpose data file causes <!-- // --> to be output when it is parsed by PHP. If we wish to use the file before headers are sent, (e.g. for a Facebook scrape or an image rewrite) then that output must be sent to null. That is achieved by buffering - see php source code for this page.

Are you interested in undertaking a science project in a cave? Do you want to learn more about cave science projects? Do you have a project\
in mind and want to work towards making it happen?\
\
Come along to BCRA's workshop on Cave Science Projects on Sunday 22 March. This will be\
held at the British Cave Science Centre at Poole's Cavern in Buxton, starting at 09:30 and finishing at 15:00.\
\
Most of the underground time\
will be on the showcave path so a helmet and light will be required as well as warm clothing, and clean walking boots or\
wellies. However, there may be opportunities to visit areas off the paths and a clean oversuit will be needed for those.\
\
There\
will be some refreshment breaks, and there is a café on site where food and drink can be purchased, or you are welcome to bring your\
own. Toilets are also available.\
\
There is plenty of parking at Poole's, but it is pay and display. For anyone wishing to arrive by public\
transport there is a train station in Buxton, which is about a 30 minute walk away.\
\
BCRA is covering the cost of the event, other than\
car-parking and food and drink purchased at the café. For maximum benefit to attendees we are limiting the numbers to twelve, so\
please sign up quickly and note that priority will be given to BCRA Members!\
\
To sign up please use our Google form and\
someone will be in touch to confirm your place.\

\
A day out exploring the geology and hydrology of the Stump Cross Caverns local area and showcave.\
\
This will be a surface walk visiting the\
sinks, resurgences and some caver digs in the area (both active and past digs), followed by a chance to explore the show cave at your own\
pace. You will get the opportunity to place in context the extensive paleo-environmental studies undertaken at the site and to consider the\
recently-proposed hypothesis that there is a hypogene element to the development of the cave. There will also be an opportunity to discuss\
the ongoing work to extend the show cave, with those responsible for the works.\
\
Please bring your own lunch, walking boots and appropriate\
outdoor gear. The event will cost £10 (paid in cash on the day) and is only open to those with a valid BCA membership.\
\
If you are\
interested in attending, then please email Phil giving your contact details and BCA membership number.\
\
No under-18s are allowed at a BCRA\
event unless they are accompanied by a responsible parent or guardian and supervised at all times.\
[3] => \
\
This meeting will be held in either Snailbeach Mine in Shropshire or in Derbyshire; the location is yet to be decided. CREG field meetings\
allow you to demonstrate your latest technological creation to like-minded cavers, to perform your own experiments, and to watch others\
demonstrate their gear. Sometimes these meetings include a programme of talks. Please let us know of any demonstrations or experiments that\
you hope to conduct, or if you'd like to give a presentation.\
