The British Caving Association

The Tratman Award is given annually for a caving-related, paper-based publication, to recognise excellence and encourage future improvement. The award used to be administered by the Ghar Parau Foundation (GPF) when the GPF was a sub-charity of BCRA, but is now directly awarded by the BCRA. It is usually announced at the annual caving conference, Hidden Earth, but that event is cancelled for this year. For further information on this year's winner Graham Mullan, please visit irish-caves-book-wins-tratman-award. Details will also be in print in Descent which will be arriving on your doorsteps very shortly.
