I don't think club headsets need to be particularly grotty. The only reason they get that way is because clubs can’t be bothered to look after them. 30 seconds with an antiseptic wipe after each trip will keep them pretty clean and hygienic. I’ve used them a few times and never really had a problem. I guess the way I’m looking at it is the cost of a couple headsets will put a pretty big dent in my wallet, but its only peanuts in a clubs annual budget. If their profit margins are that tight (which I’m sure they’re not) why don’t they charge a couple of quid a time to borrow a headset. That way they’ll be paid for in no time and the remainder can be put in a headset servicing pot.
Maggioneato: Not sure what they are going to do with them. I guess they’ll have to keep some for trial flights. I don’t think Blogg’s mum would be too impressed when he turns up for his trial flight that she bought him for his birthday only to find out she needs to folk out £150 for a headset.
