The Mid-Appalachian Region (MAR), an association of caving clubs and grottos in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey, has two (2) field meets per year.

The weekend field meets are usually conducted in the fall and spring, generally in October and May. The purpose is largely social. There are numerous cave trips, an evening dinner, and other various activities on Saturday and a PCC (Pennsylvania Cave Conservancy) business meeting on Sunday morning.

Occasionally, MAR and VAR (Virginia Area Region of the National Speleological Society) jointly sponsor one of their field meet weekends together.
