CUCC members and guests in Austria 1976 to present

Being a pretty much complete list of all the personnel on 24 CUCC expeditions (there was no expo in 1986). Names for the current year (as updated before departure) are always subject to revision in the light of reality ! People sometimes get missed out because no-one has told me their surnames :-(

Qualification for inclusion involves some active contribution to the expedition such as going underground, surface surveying or sherpa-ing, or diving for resurgences. Years marked in red indicate some certainty that the person didn't go underground that year. Persons marked in red are thought to have never been underground on expo and are therefore likely to vanish from future editions. Note that diving in Altausseer See for the resurgence has been counted as underground:- it certainly counts as effort expended in the pursuit of speleology !

In the table, a section mark (§) indicates someone who was an individual guest of CUCC or of a CUCC member, or who was a member of UBSS when they were present as a guest club in 1981 and 1982. I don't guarantee to have got all such people correctly marked. Similarly, the currency symbol (¤) marks those who are (or were) individual members of the local Austrian group Verein für Höhlenkunde im Obersteier. A smiley or face icon indicates a link to a mugshot (and brief notes) in our Rogues' Gallery - at present a few of these are still just raw jpegs with no html (and therefore no links), so we recommend opening them in a new window to save using the back button. Just one of the listed members is a vehicle - no prizes for guessing which one without looking at the photos :-)

The table doesn't include the local cavers who have caved with us at various times. These include particularly Karl Gaisberger, Gunter Graf, Sepp Steinberger and Robert Seebacher :-).

Wookey¤:-) 888990919293959698990002

Although not really competitive, frequent expo attenders will want to know that Mike Richardson has been on 13 expeditions, Wookey 12 (plus an extra visit with Arge in 2000), Andy Waddington 12, Julian Haines and Anthony Day 9, and Becka Lawson and Andy Atkinson 8. Tina White (now Richardson) and Julian Todd with 7 are just ahead of the peloton (people on six expos each). Becka Lawson could claim 10 visits if you count two trips with Arge into Stellerweghöhle. Julian H is by far the most single-minded of this group, having caved with expo every year from his first trip in 1991 to 1999. Wookey is a good second in the "consecutive expos" race with six, but that count is no longer running :-) 189 people have taken part in expo altogether (not counting non-combatants or vehicles(!)), of whom about 80 have their pictures on the site so far.

Outside-expo caving has started, with Becka Lawson, Julian Todd and Wookey joining various Arge trips in recent years. However, the much talked-about winter expedition/holiday has still not happened, though there is still a lot to be said for it. With draughts reversed in the cold, top entrances should be more obvious and skiing would make a nice change from sitting watching the rain. Some entrances would inevitably be blocked by snow but others seem to remain open all winter.
