[svn r5981] Everything in this crock of a directory gets past the validator. That's not to say that it's right. (All the links to external bodies' websites are completely wrong.)

The UBSS is the oldest of the existing British University caving clubs.
Most famous for its work in the caves of County Clare, and also much
involved in Mendip caving, the UBSS also venture further afield.
<p>Steve Perry (once dubbed "the fittest man on Mendip") was a CUCC member
with UBSS connections, who was on the 1977 expedition. Other UBSS members
first joined CUCC's Austria expedition as guests in 1980, and UBSS was a
"guest club" on the CUCC expedition in both 1981 and 1982, after which their
involvement declined. The work done by UBSS members was written up in the
prestigious Proceedings of UBSS.
<p>Sadly we have been asked to remove these pieces
of documentation, which are relevant to CUCCs exploration of the area. We are currently
trying to contact the orginal authors of the articles to ask for their
permission to publish the articles.</p>

<hr />
<p>Unknown to CUCC (and very much to our embarassment in 1989), a few UBSS
members staged independent expeditions to an area north of the plateau. We
believe there were two trips (in 1989 and 1990), though information is still
hard to come by, as the whole thing was clandestine. The local Austrian
cavers found it hard to believe that CUCC had no knowledge of the trips
whilst CUCC found it hard to believe that no-one at the BCRA Conference would
admit to being with the "English group camped on Augst-Eck" found by the
helicopter during Becka's 1989 rescue. This upset an already delicate
political situation, with the risk that all English groups might be banned
from the area permanently. It would appear that the officers and committee
of the UBSS itself were unaware that their members were visiting the area
without permission and had not bothered to research the political situation
before giving grant money for the trip.
