A certificate is not a reservation
1At a community workshop, members may borrow a camera only if they have completed the equipment course. Completing the course is required, but it does not guarantee that a camera will be available.
2A member who has completed the course will be allowed to borrow a camera if an unused camera is available and the member presents a valid membership card. These rules apply to every member without exception. A valid membership card must be presented for every loan.
3On Saturday, one trained member brought a valid card, but all cameras had already been borrowed. The member had to wait. Another member found an unused camera but had not completed the course and therefore could not borrow it.
