Hypogea 2017: 2nd circular now available

Dear Colleagues

We know that there are too many things to do and too little time to do all 
those things
But the deadline for the abstracts of HYPOGEA 2017, International Congress of

informed both in our web 
page
 and in our 1. 
Circular,
 HYPOGEA 2017 Congress will be held on March 6-8, 2017 and the sessions will be 
focused on four main topics:

- Explorations
- Cultural and economic importance of the artificial cavities
- Hazards, remediation and rehabilitation
- Survey, mapping and dating techniques

After the congress there will be several excursions to various underground 
cities, rock churches, cave dwellings and geologically interesting points of 
Cappadocia.

The important deadlines to contribute to the Congress are:

Abstract submission:  10 January 2016

Re: [Texascavers] Castleguard Cave movie

[Frank Binney via Texascavers]

Working on the Casteleguard film with Sid Perou, Derek Ford, and the
Canadian cavers ranks as one of the highpoints of my youthful salad days.
I was a little disappointed with the final mix of the film¹s music track,
however. If only they had used more kettle drums! (Not!)
