| Have you ever wondered about
what happens to the club equipment at the end of an event -
the tent, tables and chairs, club compasses, clipboards and
pens?
Well, for several years their home has been in a farm
building near Drumoak, but the building is about to be
demolished so a new home will be created for the club's
equipment.
But first, one Saturday morning, Jon, Sarah, Ewan,
Hilary, Alex, Graeme and Cathy got together at the store in
order to clear out unwanted items.
Sometimes it was like looking back in time as
stopwatches, turnover start
times display board and the box for posted results
emerged from the gloom. We realise how much easier it
has become to run an event with the advent of e-timing,
laptop computers and the internet.
So it was that creaky chairs, tangled tape and
surplus signs were recycled.
Of the four cars present, two took items for recycling,
one whisked away our SI six-day T-bars to the National
Centre and the fourth plus trailer took the remainder
to its new home in Dess. |
