The Auckland Committee has appointed me as the Auckland Equipment Officer, so I’ve taken on Nikki’s gear relocation project. Our gear library is key to our ability to create larps across a variety of settings, and has been built up over time by our projects, both large and small, from Mordavia through to The Crucible. This move represents an evolutionary development of NZLARPS as an organisation, as we commit ourselves to professional storage, and the concomitant costs associated with it.
I have identified a suitable profession storage solution on Onehunga (Brad, who very kindly offered the use of his garage, was unable to maintain the offer). This solution offers approximately double the our current storage volume, and in dry, secure environment.
There will be a full gear move on Saturday August 2nd, starting at 10am at 62 St Leonards Road, Kelston. We will be moving the gear to 44 Galway St, Onehunga.
I will tow our trailer, but we will need to hire an additional trailer and we will need another driver to tow the other trailer. If you can help with trailer towing, please post here or PM me. We need 10-12 volunteers (with 2-3 cars to get us all from Kelston to Onehunga). I expect we would be finished by 3pm.
The new storage space needs some shelves and I intend to build these on the weekend of Sat July 26th/Sun 27th (exact date to be confirmed, dependent on volunteer availability). I need help to build the shelves, so if you can assist that would be great. You don’t need to be particularly handy (the shelves are based on a very simple design), and I have plenty of tools. Perhaps 3-4 hours total.
I want to install the shelves on the Friday night before the move (Friday 1st August), perhaps 1-2 hours.
If you can help, please post here or PM me. It will be fun, I guarantee it !
