The YSS also organises social events and "Try Caving" or potholing weekends for people wishing to have a go at the sport.

The club was founded in 1964 and celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2024 at the Flacon Manor, Settle.
The YSS was formed by a group of enthusiasts in October 1964 initially calling themselves "The Undertakers Subterranean Society".
After adverse publicity, they changed their name to the Yorkshire Subterranean Society in August 1965.
