+<panel type="primary" title="EGM in lieu of postponed AGM, Sat 26th Sept 2020">
+An updated [[:documents:start|Agenda]] now published on website.
-Following on from the Prime Ministers statement on Sunday re the easing of restrictions some people have asked about caving.
+This has been updated to include an election statement from Ed Waters, a BCA council report and CSCC proposals to BCA AGM, deferred from the last meeting.
-Firstly I will stress that it is not Mendip Cave Rescues job to tell cavers if or where they should go caving.
+The meeting will be addressing the constitution changes which were deferred at a number of previous AGM/EGM's. This updated constitution includes a large number of changes, from the existing one. To speed up the meeting, please carefully read both Constitutions before the meeting.
-However, the following should be bourne in mind.

-The PM made it very clear that you can meet one friend outside keeping 2 mts distance. Caves are not outside and the caving code states a minimum of 4 in a group. So unless it is a family living together its difficult.

+<panel type="primary" title="CSCC: Latest Access News">
-The only pastimes allowed are golf, tennis and those where social distancing can be maintained. It cannot be maintained in caving.
+For the latest on how coronavirus is affecting access see [[:access:access_news|Access News]].
-MCR have made certain preparations if we are called out but the practicalities of wearing PPE in a cave would make any rescue prolonged. In addition we have protocols issued by BCRC where all equipment needs to be treated with disinfectant.
+  * St Cuthbert's reopens on 9th June.
+  * Charterhouse Caves reopen on 13th June.
+  * Fairy Cave Quarry Caves reopen on 13th June.
+  * Eastwater, North Hill reopen 1st Aug.
+  * Tyning's Barrow closed 1st Aug.
-Of course we would not hesitate to attend a call out but it could take longer than normal with some cavers self-isolating. Not only would rescuers be putting themselves at risk of contracting the virus from a casualty but the casualty would also be at risk from the rescuers.
+Please follow the link to read the updated access conditions.
-The goodwill we have with landowners on Mendip could well be put in jeopardy if cavers start arriving. The club huts are all still closed as are most caves. The two longest caves, St. Cuthberts and Swildons Hole are closed to cavers until the lockdown is lifted.
+</panel>
-Finally caving and British Caving in particular gained enormous praise from the public and great PR following on from the Thailand rescue in 2018. One rescue will put the current positive profile that caving has back for years.
-So please stay safe.
