How to get BCRA News
Wee use the following platforms for issuing news. These are all
customer-managed – that is, you have to sign up yourself.
- Notices E-List: You can sign-up online
to receive emailed news via our Notices
e-List.
- News Forum: We used to post news items to the
BCRA News Forum but this
is in the process of being decommissioned (September 2025) and might not be available. For further
information, please see BCRA News Forum.
- Facebook: Short-notice news items (e.g. arrangements for our field meetings) are
posted to our Facebook account.
The Notices E-List
The Notices E-list is a traditional e-mailing list or email reflector;
it uses a software package known as Sympa. (Prior to 2026 we used Mailman).
Customers can subscribe, whether or not they are members of BCRA, and we aim to send out short
notices approximately monthly. The information in these postings is usually duplicated on our
Facebook account and at
UKcaving.com. It may also appear on our News Forum, but this is in the
process of being decommissioned (September 2025) and might not be available.
History: We started using Mailman for our Notices list in June 2013 and
changed to using Sympa in 2026. If you are interested in historic material, please see our
news archive.
BCRA Review
The BCRA Review (ISSN 2516-1423) is our annual magazine and contains information about
BCRA, and articles. It can be found at BCRA Review.
AGM Notices
AGM notices are issued via the above routes (E-list, Forum and Facebook). They are also
posted to our AGM page.
Newsletters on paper
We no longer issue paper newsletters. Our previous paper newsletters are archived online
