Can I borrow a Garingal map?

Can I borrow a map to run my own event or training ?

   Maps are an important resource to the club and represent a huge investment.  Therefore maps are not generally available to club members.   

   However,  if you have a need to access a map for your own special event, you may complete a request form to ask the committee to review your purpose. Typically it's easier to borrow older maps that have already had full cost recovery while new maps are not easily approved.  The review is conducted based on the Club's Map Lending Policy which is available to the committee and may change over time.  The policy discusses a number of topics  like the purpose of the loan, any financial gains, reciprocal arrangements etc.  Just fill in the form  ** here **  and all relevant information should be available to the committee.
