Volunteering with BCRA

BCRA relies almost entirely for volunteers for its operations, as does the British Caving Association, of which BCRA is a constituent body. One of the largest volunteering operations is our annual conference Hidden Earth at which over a hundred people offer their help in manning reception, staffing the bar, chairing the lecture sessions, and providing technical support for the lectures and events. But there are plenty of other tasks that need doing as well. If you are interested in some BCRA projects, please read on.

Project : Selling via Amazon

We would like to sell some of our publications via Amazon. We are seeking someone who can manage this project largely unsupervised — in other words someone who can "hit the ground running" rather than someone who "just wants to help". You would be responsible for setting up and managing our account at Amazon, arranging for all shipments of correctly bar-coded stock to Amazon, and reporting regularly to BCRA Council.
