I have attached the new Auckland gear policy. This was ratified at last week’s Committee meeting. It includes costs for hiring the gear on a game-size and event-length basis. In practice, the costs will be included in the budget for any Auckland project, and affiliates will be charged a fee.
We have moved the gear into a paid storage solution in Onehunga, and the costs of hirage are designed to cover the costs of storage - currently $3000 per annum. We have approximately 2 furniture trailer’s full of larp gear, and it is now stored in a secure lockup with a custom-built shelving system for maximum accessibility. No matter the size of a larp, we can provide gear that will help bring it to life, and the gear policy is aimed at ensuring the gear is available, in good condition, and the Auckland Region receives enough income to pay for the storage and maintenance of our gear library.
I have attempted to contact all known active larp campaigns in the Auckland region to alert them to our new policy.
I am happy to answer any questions
UPDATE:
We have changed the policy to tweak the pricing bands. The 1-19 band is now 1-20 etc… The new policy is Gear Policy 2016.
