is magp** spelt magpie or magpy?

Cheers though lol. Ive been getting 15+ pages of finds on ebay as it is under that spelling so never thought any different.

As for transporting it. No idea. It needs to be transportable. I dont see why it wouldnt be. Were only a small club. It just needs to be waterproof and be a decent gauge on the pipework

That last one is like a castle!!! Must be a sod to pack away too! Good find's though

Hate to think how heavy it would get in the wet!

Well am sure with all the tec'ed up guys and gals on here with many hours of head scratching we could just about get back in the bag

as for the weight when its wet well i guess we had go and all get a gym member ship and a small hoist

Hate to be sensible but I can't see how the club funds will pay for any of those when you consider that there are only about 10 fully paid up members.

I am sure with some saving up and some more donations its not to far out of reach.
But in the mean time how about this then, contact any scout group cubs girl guides what ever you have close as a lot of them already have such items and would rent them out

I had no clue what your spend potential was (i did post don't know what you want to spend) just trying to be help full

Eurolighning - Althought those marquee's are the tits, they're just a bit OTT lol. Think you'd be best sticking to ebay looking out for the cheaper end of the market.

I work part time as an officer at a cadet unit, I wouldn't dream of borrowing out a tent/marquee. Its almost guaranteed that they come back either broken or missing a few bits.

Of course these things are easily available to rent but if it is broken or parts lost then you lose the deposit. I looked into it once, and decided upon buying a huge 2nd hand army tent.
