Welcome to the Eldon Pothole Club website. Based in Derbyshire, members of 'the Eldon' have been active underground for over fifty years. Today Eldon members are involved in a wide range of cave and mine-related activities including sport caving and exploration in the UK and abroad, cave rescue, cave diving, instruction, photography and conservation.

Club Membership
The club is always keen to welcome new members who are offered comprehensive training during a period of aspirancy. By the end of this period they are asked to demonstrate that they are safe and capable in the vertical cave environment before being voted in as full members at the AGM. All members benefit from use of club tackle, use of the club library, regular newsletters and third party liability insurance. If you wish to apply for membership please complete the following application form and come along to a monthly meeting (first Thursday of each month at The Bowling Green Inn, Smalldale, Bradwell, Derbyshire at 9.00pm) or contact Sam Townsend (Telephone 0114 255 1236 or 0788 799 2088).

Eldon Library
The club maintains a library of books, journals, surveys and photographs associated with cave and mine exploration in the UK and abroad. Click [here] for more information and lists of the publications held in the library.

Eldon Newsletters
Back copies of Eldon Pothole Club newsletters are available to purchase. Contact the Newsletter Editor for details.
