Cavers' Just a Minute

Abstract

A bit of light entertainment in Hidden Earth is worthwhile, and has been element at many events over the years. Two previous Hidden Earth events have hosted this famous parlour game( featured for over half a century on Radio Four). Four players are needed to participate. In turn over the period of the session each one must speak on the (speleological) topic selected by the chairman for one minute without deviation, repetition (apart from the words used to describe the topic) or hesitation for one minute. Other players can challenge breaches of the rules. Points are awarded for successful challenges, completing the topic without interruption and to whoever is talking when the minute ends.
