<h1>What you need to do to join Expo</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Insurance</h2>
|
|
<p>A requirement for expoers is that everyone get insurance in case of a rescue; this can be ruinously expensive
|
|
(running to millions of euros for multi-day rescues!) and so it is a good idea to get cover for this.
|
|
<p>
|
|
In the past, <a href="https://www.snowcard.co.uk/adventure-travel-insurance">Snowcard</a>
|
|
has been the most popular option but feel free to find something else
|
|
if it seems more reasonable (but make sure it is definitely legit). The policy option you need for Snowcard is
|
|
"Max Adventure" which covers original cave exploration in an area which has an established cave rescue organisation.
|
|
<p>It is very difficult to find out whether any insurance policy actually covers expedition caving or not.
|
|
Some have complete
|
|
exclusions for, say "potholing and climbing which normally requires guides or ropes", some are less explicit.
|
|
<h3>Local cave club membership</h3>
|
|
<p>If you are a member of the local cave club then some of your rescue expenses could be covered by that club.
|
|
<p>Here's the form to fill in for VfHÖ membership:
|
|
<a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/2wk00itu8y2hx1l/Beitrittserkl%C3%A4rung.doc?dl=0">download</a>
|
|
Found here
|
|
<a href="http://www.hoehle.at/wordpress/verein/unterstutzungsmitglied-spenden/">www.hoehle.at/wordpress/verein/unterstutzungsmitglied-spenden/</a>
|
|
and needs to be emailed to <em>hoehle (at) tele2.at </em> which goes to Robert TWC (The Wonder Caver).
|
|
|
|
<p>Cost of membership is €30. There are details of how to do the bank transfer on their website
|
|
but generally Robert rocks up at the dinner and cash is handed over.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<h2>Medical Form</h2>
|
|
<p>At the start of expo we have asked people to fill in an anonymous form
|
|
for their health and medical details that will be kept secure in the tattie hut and only accessed
|
|
in the case of an emergency.
|
|
<p>
|
|
If anybody has any suggestions for updates to this form or other things apart from basic medical
|
|
details, history and requirements (and your insurance details) please let me know. I'm not sure
|
|
where the template from last year has got to... but will probably be able to find out.
