$20 Deposit
If you borrow gear from the club you will be required to leave a deposit of $20. The deposit will be returned to you if the gear is returned properly cleaned, in working order and on time. Those who repeatedly return gear in a poor condition may be required to pay a higher deposit for future borrowings, or have their borrowing rights and membership suspended by the club. Members are expected to pay for equipment that has been broken if it occurred through willful damage or neglect. Lost equipment must be replaced or paid for.
