Tackle officer

Rmaclean — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 08:04:30 +0000

Dear Members

The club is looking for a new person to take on the role of tackle officer for the clubs gear. Alan Butcher has kindly been the Tackle office for most of his time during the support of CPSS (about 25 years)

The person need to have a fair amount of space and needs to be fairly centrally located so that the gear can be accessed when needed for a meet or for rescue call outs.

The gear would consist of Rope, Ladders, cables, Helmets, head lamps, biners & slings and some ascenders and descenders.

Please let the committee know if you would be interested.
