Borrowing Kendo Equipment from the Dojo

We keep a stock of second-hand bogu and, subject to availability, once you reach 4-kyu we can lend you a set, so that you don't have to buy your own immediately.

We ask for a refundable deposit of 200 GBP (100 GBP for students of the University of Cambridge), to be paid by bank transfer to the Society's account with a payment reference of BD-12345-SURNAME where BD stands for Bogu Deposit, 12345 is your BKA number and SURNAME is your surname as it appears on your BKA insurance certificate.

Subject to availability, we aim to lend the bogu to Cambridge students for at least one year (longer if possible) and to others for at least six months.

The deposit will be refunded in full, without rental fees, if the bogu is returned promptly on request. In case of late return, 1/4 of the deposit is retained for every full month that the bogu is not returned. (The bogu still belongs to the dojo and has to be returned regardless.)
