Fault Reports!

Is your shelf wonky? Microwave broken? Window painted shut?

Can you feel every spring in your mattress? Is there a worrying burning smell whenever your desk lamp is on? Does your chair creak ominously whenever you sit on it … and it’s not because you’ve been eating too many mince pies?!

If it’s a yes! to any of the above, then be sure to report accommodation faults on-line using the fault reporting system! College respond very quickly to all reported problems (the two or three times I’ve reported something, it’s been fixed within the day). But they can only sort out these problems if they know about them!

Just go to the college intranet, and click on the “accommodation faults” icon to register your problem:

MCR Christmas Party, Thursday 1 December

This Thursday we will celebrate the end of term with a suitably Christmassy MCR event!

Firstly, sign up to Christmas Dinner in hall (the first sitting – the second at 7:15pm is finalists only)

At 7pm the MCR will be filled with snacks, soft drinks, balloons and games so you can make merry – but no booze! So bring your own drinks if you wish.

MCR members of the choir will be joining us just after the finalists dinner for plenty of sing along carols, so calling all pianists, singers and owners of Christmas sheet music to make yourself known on the evening!

Finally, the MCR secret santa this year is very simple, you bring a nicely wrapped present up to the value of £5 and you get one in return. There may be some surprising twists along the way though… To make it extra clear, you don’t get a present if you don’t bring one along, so get shopping.
