Steve handed out a list of club equipment that was at hand and what was unaccounted for. Kim had two yellow helmets and Simon has the survey kit, belay rope and stitch plate and the projector and screen. The handheld GPS was unaccounted for and has not been seen by Mike Wood for a while.
Steve also created equipment Action Plan to maintain and manage the clubs equipment.
It is still uncertain how to upgrade the club helmets, as the design Gavin was working on did not work well. Kim suggested Dave Hume might be a good person to assist.
A new domain name called caving.org.nz can be purchased for $30 a year. A decision is required if we wish to proceed and take up the offer.
