Obviously the club has limited resources and so members that have there own equipment are welcome to use it, but to help us out they may occassionally be asked if they mind sharing.
The Club usually visits the local publicans on the Sat. evening but members are welcome to cook a meal with the stoves instead, if they so wish.
