[Waverley ARS] working bee report - Safety Harness

[Brad Crowe]

Colin,  safety is something we should always keep in mind so thanks 
for your very generous offer...and loaning it out seems like a great 
idea as well....we don't anyone becoming injured at home.   I agree, 
safety harnesses are quite expensive....it is something that could 
discuss at the next formal meeting  [Jim could you please include it 
as item of general business].  Perhaps we could keep an eye out for a 
used one...we may get lucky.
