    Journal No. 39 April 1953 FOREWORD Your Committee arc seriously perturbed about the condition of some of the club tackle. In the last issue of the Journal mention was made of certain damage to a rope -ladder and it has now been found that another is in an even worse state. Both of these ladders were fairly new and the damage is definitely not "fair wear and tear". It has therefore been decided that there must be more control over the tackle, and in the future it will only be available by booking and obtaining a key from the Gear Curator, Peter Harvey, or failing this from the Hon. Sec. David Willis reports that his recent club trip to Swildons did not attract a single member and although he is quite willing to continue to run club trips, suggests that it would be a great help if members who are interested in visiting any particular cave would get in touch with the Hon. Sec. so that trips on suitable dates can be arranged. We would like to congratulate Willie Station, Howard Kenney, Do nald Thomson, Phil Davies and Oliver Lloyd on the recent discovery of about 700 ft of new passages in Swildons. It should be mentioned that at the moment it is not possible for members of "comfortable girth" to get into the series (as a 'yard stick' we may mention that David Willis found he could only just get through), but it is gathered that modifications will be made in the future to enable the more 'normal types' to pass the tight spot, and we hope that it will then be possible to arrange a club trip to the discovery.

    Mells River Sink — a Spelaeological Curiosity in East Mendip, Somerset

    93 Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc, 1982, 16 (2), 93-104. MELLS RIVER SINK — A SPELAEOLOGICAL CURIOSITY IN EAST MENDIP, SOMERSET by W. I. STANTON ABSTRACT The site is a cleft in the side of the Mells River that acts as a resurgence in winter and a swallet in summer. An excavation, 1974-78, began 21m above, and ended 2m below, river level. It showed (hat a high-leve! resurgence was active in the Middle Devensian, and was buried under later deposits. Scattered finds of archaeological significance included Woolly Rhinoceros bones and a First Century bronze brooch. Water tracing experiments proved that the Sink is the upper end of an active underground oxbow to the Mells River, 2.5 km long. The cleft was developed along a neptunian dyke of Lower Lias age. Bubbling springs and 'cave, coral" are briefly discussed. INTRODUCTION The Mells River rises at Gurney Slade and flows east below the north flank of the Mendips to join the River Frome at Frome. It receives water from the Carboniferous Limestone resurgences of Winter Well, Gurney Slade, Ashwick Grove, St. Dunstan's Well, Whitehole, Cobby Wood, Hapsford and other smaller springs (Barrington and Stanton, 1977). Some of these resurgences fail in dry weather, and one of them, Mells River Sink, is so close to the river bed that, at times, the spring flow actually reverses and part of the river disappears down the hole. In the drought summer of 1976 about one quarter of the Mells River was lost into Mells River Sink. At the village of Mells the Mells River leaves undulating low ground to enter a wooded gorge (Wadbury Valley) incised by super imposed drainage into the north flank of East Mendip (Barrington and Stanton, 1977, p 220).

    WESSEX CAVE CLUB Journal No. 106, Vol. 9. May 1966 CLUB NEWS Club Digs New caves are wanted on Mendip and so those who are getting into trim for the surface digging season ahead will find the following of interest:- 1. Fairman’s Folly has been earmarked as the main Club Dig. This dig (NGR ST 551 528) is situated in the NE comer of the second field along the Red Quarr road from the Miner’s Arms cross roads. The field is on conglomerate of variable depth over north dipping limestones. The shake hole concerned was dug by Sheila Fairman some years ago and a rift was reached from which a draught is reputed to have come. However, shortage of explosives prevented the removal of obstructing boulders. Anyone interested will be welcome. NOTE: This dig is almost within sight of the chimneys of the Hunters. Organiser:- A.J. Surrall, 216 Evesham Road, Headless Cross, Redditch, Worcs. 2. Bos Swallet is being dug by members of the Sidcot School Speleological Society on our behalf. Rather akin to our own protracted association with Cow Hole, the Sidcot lads have an old score to settle with Bos Swallet, dating from their initial discovery in 1945. Whilst wishing them success in reopening this swallet, and in pushing the old terminal choke, it is hoped that members who visit Burrington will pay a call to the site and lend a hand. If you are interested please contact Mark Morland, at Sidcot, as he is the present secretary of the Society. New Members We welcome the following new members to the Club:- Elected 30.2.66.

    WESSEX CAVE CLUB Journal No. 118, Vol. 10. August 1968 CLUB NEWS At meetings held on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th July, the Committee formally accepted a tender of £2,895 from Messrs. C. Packham (Contractors) of Timsbury for the erection of the shell of the Club's New H.Q. Upper Pitts. After the necessary formalities have been concluded with the builders and Department of Education and Science, it is hoped that work on the site will start following August 1st. The contractor estimates that the construction of the shell should take about eight weeks. S. Causer is the only Club member authorised by the Committee to consult with the site foreman and labourers during the contracted building programme. All other members are urged not to interfere with the smooth running of the construction works since we are hoping that the job will be completed by mid-October next for members to inspect prior to, or after, the Club Annual General Meeting. Please co-operate. This year's A.G.M. will take place on Saturday 19th October at Priddy Village Hall, starting at 3.0.p.m. prompt. Attention is drawn to Club Rules Nos 5 and 18, which state:- "5 That the affairs of the Club shall be conducted by a Committee which shall consist of a Chairman, Honorary Treasurer, Honorary Secretary, Honorary Assistant Secretary, Gear Curator and nine other members who shall retire annually and be eligible for re- election, and that the Honorary Secretary of any group within the Club be eligible to attend a committee meeting in an ex officio capacity, and may nominate a substitute to any meeting which he cannot attend personally.
