I've just sent a mail to the Brooklyn Centre asking if they have a store
room we might use to house this sort of kit.  I think we're all in the
same boat regarding homes full of old kit and testing the patience of
loved ones with our computers.  It might be necessary to have kit PAT
tested if we plan to use it at the centre regularly, but that shouldn't
be a problem.

I'll post as soon as I hear anything.
