1 Newsletter 39 From the Editor An unusually long and hot Summer is fading into Autumn in Australia as I write this. Meanwhile around the world there is plenty of exciting news for show cave operators. The celebration of the Day of the Cave in France is imminent and looks like a wonderful series of events. Spectacular Postojna was successful in being named a National Champion in the European Business Awards - an outstanding achievement indeed. And, of course, the shadow of the upcoming Conference in Oman is beginning to loom large over us all. The draft program and welcome message from Andrew Hall in this Newsletter, with accompanying images, should be enough to start all ISCA members packing suitcases and booking flights if they have not done so already. It s going to be incredible! More information will follow, and registration will be opening in May. Dan Cove ALMOST TIME! ISCA CONFERENCE OMAN - NOVEMBER 2016 Turathna, the Oman Heritage Projects Development and Management Company, looks forward to welcoming the ISCA Team to the Sultanate of Oman for its annual conference from 6-12 November 2016 and hopes that members will block these dates in their diaries. We are planning an excigng conference that will take place in three separate locagons across the country - the ciges of Muscat, Nizwa and Sur, with a focus on a variety of caves and others sites of geological interest. These include Arabia s largest show cave, Al Hoota, and several other caves amongst which is the very special water cavern at Wadi Shaab, which we know delegates will enjoy swimming into and the Bimmah Sinkhole where you may also like to take a dip. culture and tradigons of the country and will be taking delegates on a 4x4 trail up to the Majlis al Jinn (MeeGng Place of the Genies) Cave high in the Eastern Hajar Mountains where we will also visit the 8m high, 4000 year old Al Jaylah tower tombs. For those concerned about security whilst traveling in the Middle East, please rest assured that Oman is one of the most secure countries to visit. In 2015 the World Economic The conference will also include a series of papers on topics covering Oman and internagonal topics around show caves, includ- ing high profile local and internagonal speakers. Oman is a quickly developing tourist desgnagon, an unspoiled country where the authengc culture of the Arabian Peninsula can be experienced through its heritage sites and the hospitality of its people. It is also a country of natural wonders, with beaugful scenery gioed to it by its geology. We plan to spend some of the evenings during the conference enjoying the Amazing Al Hoota Cave PAGE 1
2 Forum rated it the 9 th safest tourist desgnagon in the world, ahead of the likes of Spain, the UK, Germany, France, USA, Italy, Australia and China. Many of you may also be concerned about travelling in the extremes of a desert environment. It is precisely for this reason we have scheduled the conference for the second week of November, well into the temperate winter season when temperatures moderate around the mid- to upper 20s o C. Cave lighting design - Al Hoota Our team at Turathna is pu_ng together a package of hotels of varying cost and quality in each of the three ciges in which the conference will spend Gme and hopes to keep registragon costs at levels similar to the 2015 conference.

5 FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear ISCA Members, I hope you are having a wonderful 2016! It s Spring season in Texas, USA with green grass and beaugful wildflowers including our iconic Texas flower the Bluebonnet. With the season came Spring Holiday, when children are on break from school for a week. It s a Gme when families travel and a`racgons such as show caves are very busy. The mengon of flowers brings me to some very tragic news. ISCA Member Jose Antonio Lasheras, director of Altamira in Spain died in a car accident near Burgos recently, and his wife is in a coma. We pray that she will recover soon and that she will be comforted and find peace while grieving the loss of her husband. I have extended condolences and heareelt sympathy to her, all their family, friends and colleagues along with an arrangement of flowers on behalf of ISCA. In many ways ISCA is like a big family, and I assured them that there will be thoughts and prayers going up from all around the world. On a happy note, congratulagons to Postojna Cave for being named a NaGonal Champion for the presggious European Business Awards! Thanks to all of our members who answered the call to acgon and voted for Postojna. If you have not seen their video, it s well worth watching: h`p:// seurope.com/vote/detail- new/slovenia/15997 as I said, ISCA is like a big family and we cry with each other at sad Gmes, and we celebrate with our mem- bers at Gmes of accomplishment. Speaking of celebragng, France s NaGonal Day of Caves is coming up very soon on April 3 rd. We hope it s a wonderful celebragon with lots of publicity and visitagon for the show caves of France! In an effort to improve communicagons, ISCA is now uglizing an distribugon service called Mail Chimp. This newsle`er is our first communicagon to you with the new service, and it is our hope that it will increase the reliability and efficiency in communicagng with each of you. Another great communicagons tool that has been created for you is our Facebook pages. We built them and now we need you to join/like them! The President enjoying the return of Spring and the Texan Bluebonnet Flowers Actually ISCA member Ed Mayfield (Caverns of Sonora, USA) who I consider an expert on social media, set the pages up and administers them. We have a public ISCA Facebook page which is uglized to share with the public and promote member show caves. It s really simple, if you and/or your show cave have a Facebook page, go like the ISCA Facebook page. It will only take you a few seconds and it helps all show caves! Then when you have interesgng or newsworthy informagon about your show cave post it! Ed has also created a private ISCA Facebook page which is for ISCA members only and a place where we can ask quesgons and share advice with fellow show cave managers. You will find more informagon about this in Ed s argcle along with instrucgon on joining this group. We created these pages for YOU and we need your help to make them successful. PAGE 5
6 This newsle`er will provide you with informagon on the upcoming ISCA Conference in Oman including a provisional program and photos that will hopefully get you excited to a`end. Our hosts from Al Hoota Cave: Andrew Hall, Sarfraz Ahmed Sethi, Abdul Wahid Al Farsi and their team are organizing a fabulous conference for us. In addigon to Al Hoota Cave, their company also manages cultural and heritage tourism properges and projects across Oman. It will be a wonderful opportunity to experience the history, culture, caves, geology and scenery in a part of the world most ISCA members have never had the opportunity to experience. Conferences are also a Gme of congnuing educagon about subjects important to show caves and the Oman Conference will be no excepgon. One of the subjects for this conference is Adventure Tourism (including guided wild or adventure caving trips) which is a rapidly growing experience being offered by more and more show caves across the world. We will share addigonal topics with you as they develop. If you have suggesgons, please let us know. And as always, the Conference will be a great chance to meet with, network, share and learn from one another in the true spirit of ISCA. I look forward to seeing you in Oman! A few housekeeping ma`ers. We are a li`le behind sending membership dues invoices but will get those ed to members soon. As you know, ISCA has a very small budget and your prompt payment of dues is greatly appreciated. I am also late in mailing your ISCA Membership cergficates, but I will get them to you as soon as possible- - my apologies for the delay. My wife, Lexi and I will be traveling to Italy soon for ISCA business and a brief vacagon which we are looking forward to. In the meangme, if there is anything I can do to help you, if you have interest in serving in some capacity, or if you have any suggesgons regarding what we can do to make ISCA even be`er, please let me know. God Bless, President InternaGonal Show Caves AssociaGon HAVE YOU JOINED THE ISCA FACE BOOK PAGE YET? If you have not yet joined the ISCA Facebook page, and liked it, then why not..?

8 DO YOU KNOW A PROSPECTIVE ISCA MEMBER? Past President of ISCA David Summers was, as many would know, a tireless advocate of ISCA and a strong recruiter for the Association. His belief was always that the more members that the Association had, the stronger and the more useful it would be. It is a vision shared by our current President Brad Wuest and by the Board who continue to foster and encourage new membership. All Members have a role to play in All of the ISCA family has been greatly saddened by the terrible news of the tragic passing of José Antonio Lasheras, who had served as the Director of the Museo Nacional y Centro de Investigación de Altamira since The Altamira Museum managed the Altamira Caves in Northern Spain, a UNESCO site and one of the world s most extraordinary repositories of palaeolithic art. The work of José Antonio was widely regarded as having been the driving force behind the modernisation of the museum which is now well established as one of the finest in the world. He has been frequently called the great defender of Altamira for his commitment to finding an acceptable balance between the protection and the interpretation of this irreplaceable site. José was fatally injured in a road accident on Friday February 26. His wife, who was travelling in the car with him, was also badly injured in the accident. At last report, she was still in hospital in a critical condition. strengthening ISCA. Do you know of a show cave site that is not a member but is interested? Then make contact with them or send their information to the Board. All Members should be looking for opportunities to promote the benefits of the ISCA network and to bringing others into the growing ISCA family. We must all always remember that the more we can grow our Association, the stronger and more vibrant it will be! TRAGIC PASSING OF JOSE ANTONIO LASHERAS José Antonio Lasheras It is certain that all members of ISCA are thinking of José and his wife, and that their thoughts and prayers are with the family at this terrible time. His legacy is tremendous and will never be forgotten. The Altamira Museum, Cantabria Spain.
