Description of Dudley Caving Club

 Licence Nº not provided
Dudley Cave Rescue Team was formed in 1966 as part of the Dudley Auxiliary Fire Service after a number of incidents in the underground limestone caverns around Dudley.  In its early years it was called out on several occasions.  Soon the activities of the team spread to mine and cave exploration throughout the UK.

In the 1970s the majority of the limestone mines were filled in and so there was a much reduced need for the Club's services.  The last local callout, until this year, was in 1975 when the Club was asked to carry out an extensive search of the remaining underground workings.  This was to do with the infamous Leslie Whittle/Black Panther case.

The Club these days is a general caving club, but still retains its rescue links.  The last callout nationally was in 1994 when it was asked to assist in a difficult cave rescue in South Wales.

The Club has its own meeting place which is well equipped for caver training.

The name of the Club was changed to Dudley Caving Club in 1999.

Dudley Caving Club is a very active club with trips and events arranged for many weekends of the year.

The Club has been involved in various dig projects throughout its history but this is the one we have always returned to.
