Banstead Scouts have entered into a formal partnership with Cheam and Sutton Rotary. C&SR have purchased a Ford Transit and will be run and maintained on behalf of the district by Mark and David as it was before. Although the C&SR have paid for the van, Banstead District will be financing the running costs.
Although the van will be registered to Mark & David the ownership remains with the C&SR and a formal agreement has been drawn up and signed by the relevant parties.
Obviously as we are not the owners and the C&SR expect the van to be in excellent condition when they use it, the van needs to be a lot better respected and looked after than previous vehicles were and all use will be more scrutinized than it was before.
As we now need to make the van pay its way as we are no longer getting the financial aid Mark & David were getting before, the donations will have to rise in order to make it financially viable. Banstead District is not out not make a profit, but it must cover the running costs.
There is now a diary set up for the hire of the van and can be found HERE.
