Out with the old



Having official moved over to the new equipment, this meant the removal of the old stuff.

Its not quite as simple as throwing it away, each item has a certificate which needs signing and confirming its withdrawal from service.

Also the Agency has insisted that the Sector Managers confirm its withdrawal and correct disposal as quite rightly they don't want these items being used anymore, IE not appearing on eBay or being used for climbing.

So once this has been done, the metal work will be sent for recycling and the ropes (that's over 1200 metres of rope just for our station) will be used once more when we lift some fossils for a special project and then hopefully they are going to be sent to Monkey World at Wool where another group of primates will be able to use them!
