The part of the post about the replacement belays was written in my formal capacity as Area Chairman.
The message about the theft of the hangers was made in a personal capacity. I am not the 'BMC' - I'm a volunteer who happens to be the Area Chairman (also a voluntary position).
However, I am the person who installed and paid for the gear that was stolen and who has since replaced it again at my own cost. I absolutely reserve the right to call the person who did this a d**k........ and a wan*er!
