The club has a gear store with lots of wonderful equipment in it, so here's a guide as to how to use it.
Location
The gear store can NO LONGER be found in GBH. It is now in the Pleasance lockup, which can be found through the archway to the left of the main Pleasance gym building (https://goo.gl/maps/MkiA2S4hKvAjhF5G8). Please contact the gear secretary William Gorton on Facebook messenger to arrange rental.
Please see the weekly email for the gear store opening times that week.
Gear rental will be available between 6pm and 7pm on Thursday evenings (TBC), if you wish to rent gear at any other time you MUST pre-arrange this with the gear secretary.
Priority is given to those that are signed up for a club meet and people can contact Will to reserve gear if they are on a meet.
Conditions of Hire
A £40 cash deposit must be left - this WILL BE cashed if equipment is damaged, lost or overdue. The deposit must be paid in cash but the hiring fee can be paid in cash or by card. Equipment is hired for one week. If you wish to hire it for longer then please say so when hiring. Please treat equipment as if it was your own, after all it may save your life! Please report any faults, as we can't fix what we don't know about.
