The following local suppliers have been found to be rather useful:

The member storage shelves are located in the member storage room, at the very back of the space.

Some sort of genetic experiment to cross Ikea with Argos appears to have gone terribly wrong and resulted in Clas Ohlson. They stock all sorts of incredibly useful stuff.

Useful products:

Model Shop

The model shop in Crossgates is a traditional style model shop, of the type that is rapidly disappearing due to cheap imported stuff bought via the internet killing the trade (Remember Maplins)

They stock servos, motors, motor controllers, construction materials (balsa wood etc), glues, model kits, radio control equipment, R/C planes / helicopters / boats / cars, spare parts, rockets, kites, model engines and their fuels, paints of all kinds, batteries and chargers, modeling tools etc.

It is a place where enthusiasm can result in you spending plenty of cash.
