We decided to change this year's location in order to be able to welcome more participants than last year; word of mouth spread news about the congress, and it has come to have a very good reputation.The facility in which the congress will be held affords us to hold a quality event and to accommodate a large audience.We are organizing several conferences, holding slideshows, photo expositions and film projections, and are arranging a swap-meet.The complex is right next to a lake, in which material testings and techniques will take place.The cave will be open so that you can dive in this splendid site which is Thais: The underwater tunnels of this cave are extremely wide and have been explored and enjoyed since ... http://www.zenas.gr/site/home/eng_detail.asp?iData=4267 ==> 5th International Cave Photography Contest FromWorld Caving News http://www.zenas.gr/WCN => 26 Apr. 2006.Dear Cavers,Speleoklub Warszawski from Warsaw, Poland organises the 5th International Cave Photography Contest.

We have been told that the restoration is complete, but there may be a further delay in the long awaited opening for a final cleaning and the re-placement of the thousands of skulls and bones that line the walls and crevices of the historic funerary cavities and tunnels.Considering the ancient, and to some, goulish appearance of this early remnant of early Neapolitan cult worship, it is hard to understand what is meant by "not ready yet." To add to the delay is a bureaucratic squabble with the city Superintendent in charge of the project about proper public restroom facilities and a new ticket office.Again, however, this is not an official notice and hopefully just another delay which finally signals the imminent opening of this mysterious piece of Naples history. We recall that the last official estimate of the opening was to be during the citywide "Monuments in May" celebration, May 5 - 7.Meanwhile, you may take a virtual tour by visiting looking through our photographs of the Fontanelle Cemetery http://www.napoliunderground.org/Downloads-index-req-getit-lid-14.html For more news and fascinating information, visit Napoli Undergroundhttp://www.napoliunderground.org/Article383.html Translation - Larry Rayhttp://www.larryray.com/napolibelow.htm http://www.zenas.gr/site/home/eng_detail.asp?iData=4259 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ SpeleoUnion http://groups.google.ru/group/SpeleoUnion -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
