Wanted to borrow - strecher

[Buckshot]

My local Amateur Dramatics group are after borrowing a light stretcher for a play they're doing.
If anyone has one they're not using, or even just the material (I can get some poles from the wood and it'll be much cheaper postage ) and you're happy for us to borrow it please give me a PM.
It needs to be able to pack down fairly small - the sort of thing footballers get carried off the pitch on - or smaller please.

Of course we could buy one. But, like many other small amateur groups money isn't buring a hole in the pocket atm and it's a shame to buy something only to use it once.

Thanks

Mark

Improvise, adapt and overcome...


A couple of sturdy jackets with the sleeves inside the body and a couple of poles put through will make a stretcher, then a blanket over the top and safety pinned underneath will make a good stretcher.

Hmmm, when i said local I didn't mean "middle of nowhere survival "!

Whilst I'm quite sure you're correct I think the lady that's going to be lying on it might not share you're confidence

If all else fails though....

Buckshot,

Why not try your local St Johns Ambulance. I’m sure they would be glad to help out.

Not a bad idea Nigel - thanks

I'm fairly sure (but would need to check as I may have given it away) I've got an old brit army jungle hammock down the shed somewhere (something else I "forgot" to hand back lol ) and they can double as a stretcher as they are the same size and have the same pole slots.

If you get no joy with St.Johns lending you a proper one then you're welcome to use mine Mark, let me know if you want it.

Cheers,

Bam.
