The store to the right of the new eating shelter has been constructed solely for the storage of Fairmead equipment such as tables, benches, gas bottles and the marquee.
The storage unit behind the Log cabin has been allocated to Groups in East London District for storage of camping equipment belonging to specific groups. Any individual groups’ equipment left at Fairmead is the responsibility of the groups concerned and the District Scout Council will accept no liability for such equipment.
The Camp Ground Committee of the District Scout Council has resolved that it is no longer acceptable for individual groups equipment to be left in the two accommodation huts, which must be kept clear for camping use at all times.
Each October, a general tidy up will be carried out and any unclaimed items that have not been stored in the storage facilities provided will be disposed of.
