Over the next two weeks, we shall be conducting a Club equipment audit so that we can properly check all of our assets, and see what needs repair or replacement. Over the years there have been a number of items that have gone out and not been returned, which impacts on our ability to cater for new students. For instance, there are many more keikogi than pants in the store, even though all of the donated uniforms started as complete sets. Likewise with obi, where there are far fewer in the tub than this time last year.
One of the things we will be doing is putting an identifying number on all Club items, and signing that item out to you against the register, so that we have a formal record of all equipment that you are borrowing.
If you have any equipment or uniforms at home, could you please bring it along to training so that it can be checked off.
Likewise, if you have any old equipment or uniforms that are in generally good repair and are not using any more, please consider donating them to the Club. This is especially the case for adult-sized bogu, as we are starting to grow numbers both in Toowoomba and in Gin Gin.
