We have a limited amount of equipment, and a small library.
Guild members are welcome to borrow any of the equipment or library books.
Library Books are bought to every meeting, and are free of charge to borrow. Please don’t keep books for longer than a month as other members may want to borrow them.
Equipment will be bought to a meeting only if requested. Katie Weston currently stores all equipment, please contact her prior to a meeting. There is a small charge to borrow equipment, and a deposit cheque to cover the cost of replacing the equipment is required. This won’t be cashed unless the item isn’t returned, or is returned damaged.
