If you are seriously interested in caving with us, you should take up membership! There are plenty of good reasons why you should become a member:

  • You get proper insurance that covers caving as well as other activities organised within the club. Please note that while day insurance can be used while you are deciding whether or not you like caving, we strongly urge you to become a member once you have decided, which should be after your first caving trip. More information about insurance can be found here.
  • You become a member of Spekul as well as the VVS (Verbond van Vlaamse Speleologen: Flemish Caving Society).
  • As a member of VVS, you automatically receive an informative caving magazine (including cave maps and photos), published twice yearly by the VVS.
  • Once a year, you can participate in the co-purchase of caving gear, which offers an attractive discount.
