Gear/Equipment Officer
For Each Game:
Liaise with game organisers about Load-Out at gear storage location.
Confirm with the gear custodian this is convenient, with at least one week notice.
For Aucklanders, remind the game organisers to organise the trailer pick-up & drop-off with Mike Curtis if required.
Ensure batteries (for walky-talkies) are charged up prior to events. These are often stored at the officer's house rather than at the shed to make this easier.
Supervise the gear Load-In. Advise which items are stored where, for example some are stored inside, rather than the shed.
Remind game organisers that wet/dirty gear need to be clean & dry before returning to the shed. This may required another trip to the shed a week or two after the game. Include used tea towels in this category.
Check supplies of make-up, and wash & dry the application sponges.
Check cleaning supplies adequate, including spare vaccuum bags.
Update list of consumables and food on the google doc inventory spreadsheet.
Add new gear items to the inventory, photograph where possible & upload to gear inventory.
Label new gear with NZLarps.
Send Gear feedback email to game organisers.
Organise Gear Shed Working Bees - to tidy up & sort out the shed. Ensure items are packed correctly in their labelled boxes. This is usually done in January, when the weather is better.
Organise working bees to make new and/or fix costumes, armour, shields etc.
Keep track of which gear is stored where (via the inventory document).
Order additional weapons, makeup, and general gear as required. Note most new gear is purchased by the larps. Only general non-game specific purchases are done by the gear officer.
Prepare and deliver end of year report for the RGM.
