I agree with Mallory. In the past, grotto newsletters were
usually very local in scope and not of general interest to cavers
elsewhere. There might also be reports on things like vertical
practice or a survey class. When there were enough (were there ever
really enough?) articles on original exploration or project and
expedition reports in Texas Caver, even sport trip reports could be
safely relegated to grotto newsletters. However in the present
situation with few articles available, it might make sense to submit
all trip reports to both the local newsletter and Texas Caver.

Who says the two have to be mutually exclusive? I enjoy
"Speleospace" (the Houston Grotto newsletter) and "The Texas Caver."
Our grotto newsletters feature meeting minutes, etc that would be an
absolute bore to anyone not affiliated with the Houston Grotto. We
have the same problems as Mark, tho...no one wants to contribute
articles! So it's not like people are too busy writing articles for
their grotto newsletter to contribute articles to TSA....

I'm thinking that it's very selfish of individual Grottos to produce
their own newsletters and not support the Texas Caver.
Surely Grotto meetings are there to talk about your own stuff, and
the Texas Caver to share it with everyone else? What purpose does a
Grotto newsletter serve?
My 2p.
