Welcome to the BCA Manual of Operations.

BCA Structure
BCA is the Governing Body for Underground Exploration in the United Kingdom.
Membership is composed of Constituent Bodies, Regional Councils, Groups & Individuals.
Constituent Bodies and Regional Councils have their own Constitutions and run their own affairs. They carry out certain functions on behalf of BCA and are entitled to send a representative to Council, and all of Council's Standing Committees. They do not pay a fee to BCA. The BCA website has a full list of Constituent Bodies and Regional Councils.
Group and Individual Members join annually and pay a membership fee. This is dealt with by BCA's Membership Administrator. They are represented at Council by four Individual Member representatives and four Club Representatives.
