I'd also like to take this opportunity to stress about damages, seeing as the Common Room has suffered recently.
If you break or damage something in hall,
please own up to it. If you don't, the hall committee have to pay, meaning that we can't put on as many events. We still owe £3,500 from last years damages... that's almost enough to put on another ball and starts us off on a really bad footing for this year.
Already this year one of the sofa's has been broken and could cost up to £500 to repair and AFAIK no one has yet owned up to it. £500 could put on several large parties, pizza nights etc or could go towards drinks at the ball.
It's not fair that everyone in hall has to suffer because of something an individual has done. Fair enough if it was an accident but please, own up to it. Other members of hall will thank you for it in the end.
Also, with the Charity Pub Crawl coming up this weekend, I'd like to make sure that people are aware that
the more money we raise throughout the year, the more chance there is of free booze at the end of year Garden Party.
The money we raise through our various charity events is given to the Union to distribute to the charities they support or a charity we specify. The hall that donates the most money by the end of the year is given a percentage of that money in free booze from the Union as a thank you. So when you're out collecting this weekend, or when you sign up to do Chattan Assassins or the calender, or when you're considering buying a calendar and aren't sure, just think how you would be not only doing something really good for charity, but also increasing the chances of getting free booze at the end of the year. Wow, that was a really long sentence.
