sorry should have been clearer, the fee is only a deposit, returned upon the safe return of the key, sorry for the confusion. we have sperate keys for mebers / non-membersChristian_Chourot said:Bob Smith said:Keys are not free from the BEC we also charge a ?20 deposit. they are only free to use by members,
(Bet I get some grief for this...)
How much do you charge non-members to use various keys? Charging a fee for key use seems a little mean. Surely a painful deposit is sufficient to justify it's return, otherwise it's looks to me like a case of making money just-because-you-can. I can't see many costs to be covered when giving out keys if people using them either do the necessary travelling or send SAEs. Or is it because you don't actually want non-members to use the keys and it's used as a detterent to keep keys available for when members want to use them?
Course, a small fee of the goodwill type I can accept though.
Of course, I'm in danger of being a bit hypocritical here, it's not like UBSS gets approached for it's keys by non-members very often (I'm not sure what our policy even is).

Feel free to give it a try, it's ungated, and openly accessible and no permit is needed. Many an UBSS caver has used their tackle in the cave.
