Revamping the Vol. Room.

Big thanks to Jonathon for the 50% increase in the computing facilities. CD/DVD burner being looked at and a head set for Skype.

A collection of ideas for the Vols Room gleaned from members responses seemed to come down to one thing

Make it more comfortable!!!!.

On this one we could

Have a general tidy up and kick out (I enjoy throwing stuff away!!! I volunteer myself for this job!!!!! Going over the top on Saturday!!))
Mend the broken chairs or ditch them.
Repair very dodgy wall socket
Buy some blankets.sleeping bag for over nighters
Lay new floor covering
Repair the table tennis table.
Replace the pot cups with a supply of paper cups ( if you prefer a pot cup, perhaps you could keep you own personnel cup in your locker?)
Get more games, chess etc.

Disco lights and a bar????? What do you think? No, perhaps not too comfortable!!!

Don't be shy, do reply.

There have been veiled grumbling from some of the staff that the Vol Room is below the historical par as far as

tidiness goes. I would be happy to organize another projector-based movie night if it would bring people out to help

clean up and promote use of the room, which I feel is an underused asset.

As far as IT goes, next time I'm at Computer Land and can find a good price on a headset and a few USB hubs I'll

pick them up. (Shouldn't be more than 10^4 T). The CD writer has driver compatability issues with WinXP but I'll

take another crack at it soon. Also, I think we should get rid of the old photocopier down there, as it might not

be worth the effort to fix.

My 2 Tugrugs,
Jon
