College Services#
A huge range of services and facilities are available at the College. Many of these can be accessed by asking at the College Receptions.
Mail Delivery and Forwarding#
Mail is delivered (by Royal Mail and independent delivery firms) to the Reception desks in both LH and WGH from Monday to Friday, and distributed into Members’ pigeonholes. Confidential or sensitive mail is held at Reception, and Members notified. Bulky items are held behind the counter and you will be alerted to their arrival.
If you are going to be away for an extended period of time, Reception can hold your mail until you return. Please inform the receptionist on duty and they will make a note. If you are away from the College, please do not order large items until you have returned and are able to collect.
When you confirm your final departure from the College, you can request to have your mail forwarded to a specific address. You will receive the Forward/Hold Mail Form in your departure pack or you can collect one from Reception. Reception will forward or hold your mail for one calendar month (four weeks) maximum after departure. Reception will not accept mail or sign for registered mail if a Member has left the College. Any deliveries to the College more than four weeks after a Member’s departure will be refused or disposed of appropriately.
Audio-Visual Equipment#
The College holds a range of audio-visual (AV) equipment for College events, stored in both LH and WGH. Members wishing to borrow AV equipment for a club or society event should contact the Dean’s team well in advance of the event to book the equipment, indicating time, date and person responsible for collecting and returning the equipment.
The Dean’s team will email the Member responsible to confirm when and where to collect the equipment. (In some instances, items may be set up in the room ready for the event.) A cash deposit of £20 and your GoodCard must be left at Reception when collecting equipment; these will be returned to you when all items are returned to Reception after the event has ended. Speakers must be packaged and returned as you found them and cables neatly wrapped, placing them in their appropriate containers. Please let the Dean’s team know as soon as possible if any of the equipment is faulty or damaged.
Available AV equipment:
- 14-channel mixer with ten inputs for microphones and instruments and two stereo inputs for iPods, laptops and other audio devices
- one large bass speaker
- two microphones
- one small speaker system
- two floor-standing projection screens
There are also spotlights and other light stands available for use upon request and dependent on availability.
The integrated commercial PA systems in London House and William Goodenough House are not available to Members.
