wheelchair access to LPH?

[KateBush]

Is there a debate this week? Can I get in in a wheelchair? Or will I have to be lifted in like Cleopatra, sedan-like, by my minions?

Any advice (or offers from potential minions) gratefully received!

[exnihilo]

I may be entirely wrong, but I seem to recall there being a small ramp for the door which opens directly into the chamber. Perhaps a call to the janitors?

[KateBush]

Ah, yes, indeed. I think ther is a rampy bit somewhere. But are there not also EVIL stairs? Maybe one of the BoT could get back to me and let me know?

I think that there is a ramp somewhere, but it might be in St. Marys Quad. If not, then it will be easy enough to carry you in. Although I would be interested to see if you can get in with a wheelchair. If not, we need to look at access.

Let's carry you in, all 'Look at me' style.

It would be so great.

But people might think you were taking over the Convenorship!

I remember at the 1997 Schools Final, a group of us had to carry a wheelchair up to the Senate Room. The person in the wheelchair was the coach from Arbroath Academy, which was the dominant school of the period. Anyway, the coach was Miss Anne Begg, who went on to become the Member of Parliament for Aberdeen South.

Just thought I'd add that.

I'm pretty sure there is a ramp, otherwise we wouldn't be allowed to use the place (vide. Old Union Theatre). I will check with the Janitorii Collegei Sanctae Mariae Virginae. This week's debate is the Parliamentary, and therefore on a Friday. Don't forget to get your tickets for the Parliamentary Dinner from Ben McGreevy (bpm4)- 20 pounds for two courses and a half bottle of wine at Bridges.

Ianitorii, even, some would argue. (Damn it, I will, I must, subvert Mr Covino's thread and steer it towards ancient languages.)

Except, of course, this isn't Mr Covino's thread. Oh dear. Mea culpa.

Yeah, carry me in! I'll be in my ball gown! yippeeeeee! This will be SOOOO cool! Steveoh and Dave, are you up for it? I want to be piped in with the board of ten...that will be SO awesome...this may well be my last debate as an undergrad, and I want to come in STYLE!

Having seen similar entrances attempted in many "comedy" programmes and films, I must warn you that such things never end well. At best, you will be left clinging to the top of the door frame as your minions progress stately into the room carrying aloft an empty chair.

Yes, thinking about it would agree with Ianitorii. Although should it be in Mediaeval Latin, in which case:

Janitorii Collegei Sancte Marie Virgine

That, or simply, "Jim & co.".
