Enquiries

Check availability with the organiser.

Nelson currently manages the service. Ask for Nelson in the club’s community groups to discuss availability and the loan agreement. Sending an enquiry does not reserve a kit.

Find Nelson through our community groups

The service is currently independently funded and mainly run by Nelson, with the club intended to take over its operation. The stated plan is to donate the wheels to MZC once costs are recouped. Loans are subject to organiser approval and the supplied loan agreement.
