Since 2015 the newsletter has only been distributed by email and via the BCA website. The BCA is a separate organisation to your club so even if your club has passed on your email address they still need your permission before they can email you.
The sign-up process is a little complicated but hopefully the quick guide below will help!
If you haven’t registered you’ll need to first – it’s is easy enough to do:
- Go to https://members.british-caving.org.uk/users/login
- Click on ‘Request login details’, enter your email address and click ‘Submit’
- If your email address is not found it means BCA do not have it. Email [email protected] – as well as your email address, please include your full name, BCA membership number (from your membership card) and full address. (Hint: you may need to update your details with your club secretary)
