The Demographics of British Caving
45 minute Lecture|Rostam Namaghi
Abstract
Have you ever wondered how many cavers there are? Have you ever wondered how many there were in 1934? What did Foot and Mouth do? Is caving growing or shrinking?
Join me for a mostly coherent ramble where I'll document my deep dive into our subculture's demographics, some surprising finds along the way and wild speculation about the future.
Don't worry if you miss it - there will be articles and papers being published in the next year, this is just a sneaky peek under the hood and holds plenty of advice on how to research!
