COVID-19 & caving activities - Update

Update on Covid-19 & caving activities 1/6/2020
Updated 1/6/2020
The DCA have been asked for advice on returning to caving and we felt that we should update cavers on the current local situation. We are not here to police caving or advise one way or the other. What we have chosen to do is to lay out some of the facts as they currently are and highlight any information from relevant bodies or organisations.
June Meeting Cancelled
- Details
The DCA is scheduled to have a council meeting on Sat 6th June 2020. This meeting has been cancelled because of the current COVID-19 restrictions. We hope to hold the scheduled October Council meeting, and will make an announcement nearer the time.
We may not be undertaking activities in and around Derbyshire but your officers are still working in the background on a couple of projects. An officers meeting was held in April to discuss BCA issues and we will hold further meetings as required, prior to our next open council meeting
