Foundation Day
I have some tickets for Connaught Hall residents to attend Foundation Day on Wednesday 25 November.
Foundation Day is the annual celebration of the grant of the Royal Charter to the University of London. Held in the evening at Senate House, the event begins with the presentation of honorary degrees to a number of public figures by the Chancellor of the University of London, HRH The Princess Royal. Following this ceremony, there is a reception where Her Royal Highness likes to meet many of the students present and guests can enjoy canapes and a glass of wine.
If you would like a ticket, fill in the online form at http://tickets.connaught-hall.org.uk/ before 10pm on Tuesday 27 October.

Noise
We've received a few noise complaints already this year about noise mostly in the early hours of the morning when residents come home from a night out.
Please remember the walls in Hall are pretty thin and the layout of our corridors means the noise from voices and slamming doors travels a long way and can disturb a lot of people. This was a problem identified by many respondents to last year's noise survey, the results of which are published here:
http://www.scribd.com/full/15504181?access_key=key-14av9ejuuqu4b3fjzue6
So please keep your voices down when you get back after a night out, try not to let doors slam shut, and be aware that if you're in the corridor or standing outside the front of the Hall smoking, any noise you make could wake up lots of people.
If you're having problems with noise, email us at noise@connaught-hall.org.uk.
