How annoying: I've just found out that JP Hall (the one proper performance space in the University, which has been closed all year for renovations) is now in the care of NIECI, not Central Reservations.
I'm not sure yet what impact this is going to have on the performing societies (worst case scenario is they can't book the hall anymore or will have to pay to use it, best case is they won't notice any difference); what really annoys me is that after three years of discussions with the University on various aspects of JP Hall (problems with bookings, storage space etc), nobody thought to either consult with or inform the Students' Union about this change.
It's really quite disheartening. I think we've done a lot of work to build a strong relationship with the University, but we still end up being ignored or (perhaps worse) forgotten about. I don't think we've been ignored, actually (did they really think we wouldn't notice and wouldn't get annoyed about this?), I think it just did not occur to the decision-makers that this might impact on us somehow. How upsetting!

I'm Carolan, 23, working in London. I like cheese, exercising, music, dogs, detective stories and people. I don't like packing, unpacking, repacking or really anything to do with moving all my possessions from a to b. London smells but has many things to do in it.

It's not that bad - in fact it could even be an advantage for P@Bangor. We have an insider with influence at NIECI who is sympathetic to our cause and won't book it out to yoga enthusiasts nilly-willy.
