<h1>Expo Leaders</h1>
<p>
This list was initially compiled by Becka Lawson in autumn 2024 based on information from email requests, checking Ghar Parau applications and reports and the who/when pages.
<h1>Expo Leaders</h1>
<h2>Early years</h2>
<p>
There was little or no role for a leader on the earlier expeditions. Dave Brindle summarised the first decade of expeditions: "<em>there was the first group who went to Austria in the late '70s. Almost the same people every year for a few years, the people that later formed the nucleus of EXCS. So they all knew each other, they had caved a lot together in England, and worked easily together, Then they stopped going when they left Cambridge, and a new group (the one I was in) started going. During 1980 to 1983 that new group was again stable; we knew each other well, so again, working together was easy. We had done a lot of hard caving together in Yorkshire. Then we all stopped going to Austria, and a new wave went from 1984 onwards. At that time, once you left Cambridge, it was more difficult to maintain contact with CUCC, or to stay involved with the planning for Austria, hence the tendency to stop going</em>".

Phil Townsend said "<em>I'm not sure if we had a leader on either 81 or 82. Decisions on what to do were collective, and fairly haphazard</em>", whilst Pete Lancaster said "<em>In our day the leader was someone still at Cambridge, but obviously whoever was technically nominated as leader made no difference in Austria!</em>".
