In the past 12 months, ALL MEMBERS of the group, Smalls and Bigs, have take part in activities that has used group equipment for either a Tuesday night event or a weekend event.
We issue equipment required for the events being undertaken, either a night hike to Knowle on a Tuesday evening or a weekend expedition of whatever purpose. Most of it comes back – despite our best efforts with our equipment logging system, some of it hasn’t. The total cost of equipment that hasn’t been returned in the last 12 months is over £600 – or £4 per member each term this year.
You can help us find it
Most, if not all members, will not know if they have any of the ‘missing’ equipment, that is why it is ‘missing’. Whether you you think you have it or not, please will all members and parents go through their possessions at home and look for the following equipment:
Meths Fuel BottleCost of replacement: £15 Brand new, not been used before when it didn’t come back on the November night hike that all members took part in |
Vango Tempest 200 / 300 / 400 TentsCost of replacement: £100 – 140 These are the workhorse of our weekends whenever we go away. A couple of these have gone home to be cleaned, repacked or not returned after an expedition. They are expensive to replace and are needed for the expeditions in August – we need them back! |
Silva Expedition 4 CompassCost of replacement: £25 each We have issued 6 of these that haven’t been returned in the past 12 months. We need them back!! |
Trangia Camping StovesCost of replacement: £75 each These have been in use continuously since we ordered a new set in October last year. Two of them didn’t come back after our first activity and others were not returned before them. The are in two flavours: all aluminium like the closed one shown and ultra hard anodized like the open set shown. They are expensive and we would like them all back (clean) please. |
Various MapsCost of replacement: £10 We have lost count of the amount of maps we have leant out for trips or trip planning that haven’t come back. If you have a map you don’t recognise, its ours! |
Please help us keep costs and our time investing in new equipment down by looking for stuff we already have – we don’t care who has it and how long they have had it for, we just want it back.
Thank you!!
