SYAV EQUIPMENT FOR LOAN
Back in 2002, the SYAV committee reviewed our accumulating balance in our bank account, and decided that we would put some of that asset to work in providing some tangible benefits to members by way of procuring, then lending - items of significant benefit to members.
The aim was not to loan items to members, which in the ordinary course of events, was equipment which members should procure for themselves. Rather it was for equipment which was generally expensive, and was of a nature which would only be used on rare occasions. The list below for the main part falls into that category.
