The timetables for the week
This update, The full timetable, the Town Hall room timetable and the Zoom timetable are available in the Common Room and on the corridor noticeboard.
From WacArts:
We are really sorry for the lack of heating in the Town Hall and completely understand how frustrating this situation is. We have purchased more industrial heaters, and they should be arriving today (Wednesday). Please check to make sure the heaters are switched on early to warm the room and please switch them off at the end of the day. If there are still problems please tell the office or Richard Sattin.
