This is with immediate effect. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. If you are a group leader could you please communicate this to your members? we would like to make you aware, however, that we continue to offer a discount scheme for in store for members / employees of the following organisations: • Scouts • Guides • Ramblers Association • Police • Forces • YHA Kind Regards, The SGA Team Seems Geo cachers not wanted!!

+Grizzly Pair Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 We only heard about this card recently, but when we tried to apply for one in blacks a couple of weeks ago they told us it was discontinued. So we had to rely on Mrs G's guiding membership card. The answer is to marry a scout or guide leader. Quote Link to comment

+Cache U Nutter Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 The discount card does nothing to erode the price differential between Blacks / Millet pricing and what you can expect to pay for stuff on line from say Cotswold Camping. The 70 % 'sale in store at the moment is on very limited products and even still their prices are staggeringly high. One reason they have gone out of business is that they have forgot their core market [walkers] and gone instead for festival goers and holiday punters. Why did they decide that trendy clothing was more important on the hill than functional clothing ? Quote Link to comment

+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Back in the day, when I worked at a large Scout Campsite in Essex... We had a visit from "The Hour a Week Club" from Sheffield Scout Leaders I believe... So called as that's how they were conned into volunteering! Quote Link to comment
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Oddly - I was in Blacks in Buckingham Palace Road today - they had genuine Garmin PC Serial to GPS cables reduced from £27 to £5.... if you have an old Etrex - might be useful.. Quote Link to comment
