You don't have to have any particular qualifications or facilities available
to be of help to someone, just some local knowledge might be enough!

I like this one, the club web site is the obvious choice, and I think it may
be possible to implement when the site is upgraded soon.

I have already received offers of parts from builders, both flying, with
redundant or spare parts available and non flying, with parts not required
yet. So we could end up with a network of spare part stores as well as
volunteer's willing to distribute them, it can only make the service more of
a success.
