Ooh, I definitely want to do an RSR, but the dates don't suit me this time. Good job running it, and to everyone else, I recommend you do it!

4.00     Recommended Equipment List for Participants
4.01     Wetsuit or Drysuit

4.02     Thermals

4.11     One 4 - 5 metre open sling

[Diarmuid]

Preferrably yes, if you don't have them ask someone who has nicely if you can borrow them

[Peter O'Sullivan]

4.01     Wetsuit or Drysuit - borrow from club
4.02     Thermals - you should have these already
4.03     ISO Approved buoyancy with integrated harness - tricky one, ask some oldies nicely
4.04     ISO Approved helmet - borrow from club
4.05     Adequate hard sole footwear
4.06     Throw Bag - borrow from club
4.07     Knife - in the pocket of the B.A. you borrowed from an oldie. You might have to buy one
4.08     Whistle - 3euro, just buy one
4.09     Mobile Phone - waterproof phone cover 25euro get an Aquapac
4.10     One screw gate & one snap gate karabiner - possibly borrow from club.
4.11     One 4 - 5 metre open sling - 1.50 per m, get 5m.

Surprised a small dry bag wasn't on that list probably worth having.

[Aoife S]

4.09     Mobile Phone - waterproof phone cover 25euro get an Aquapac

Do not trust said Aquapac with your proper phone! They leak sometimes and despite their 100% waterproof promise! their warranty only covers the PAC! not anything that was inside it when it leaked :/
