Weds. Oct 28th

Dear Colleagues, Our electrician has identified the required part but even with a courier service the replacement will not arrive until tomorrow, Thursday 29th October. It will be fitted on arrival (expected mid morning). A spare has also been ordered to obviate a repeat of the same problem. Unfortunately, I will have to close the WML again overnight as from 6pm we will be unstaffed. I regret this action, but have no choice and assure you all that normal service will resume asap.

Tues. Oct 27th

Disaster has just struck. The electronic strike on the WML door has broken and University cards will not enable access. We can keep the door open during staffed hours, but will have to close at 6pm tonight, when I leave, and won’t open until 9am tomorrow. Emergency repairs will be made asap, but please warn students about the problem. We are really sorry to have to close early at such short notice, and do not know how soon the problem can be fixed. It has utmost priority.

From Stella (sn357):

Hello all,

The MCR is making a day trip to Ely this Sunday! Plan is to meet at Queens’ Plodge at 10 AM or the Rail Station at 10:30 AM, from where we will be catching the train to Ely. In Ely, we plan to visit Ely Cathedral, Oliver Cromwell’s house, and the town itself, stopping for lunch at a pub along the way. Bring your student ID and money for train ticket (~7 pounds, roundtrip–cheaper if you have a rail card), admission to the Cromwell house (4 pounds), and lunch. Admission to the cathedral is free on Sundays, but they also do tours which are ~5-10 pounds. The group will probably be returning to Cambridge around 3pm, though it will be possible to leave earlier, if needed.

If you haven’t already signed up, please do so at http://tinyurl.com/qmcr-ely ,so that we have an idea of how many are coming.

Cheers, Stella and Duncan
