Equipment Hire

Available for Loan

The equipment listed below is available for loan to members. More items will be added soon.

Items are generally loaned for up to three months, but we need everything back by the June meeting so that it can be checked over and so that it is available for use at the summer shows.

You can view our policy and If you would like to borrow any of the equipment, please ask when you are at one of our meetings or contact us to ask if it is available.

If you have any questions please email hgwsdwebmaster@gmail.com
