The Subbies and Hall seniors arent allowed to have complete

dominance over your stay here, so we need you to help us form a

corruption-free Hall Committee (though bribes arent entirely

unacceptable...).

If you want to be a part of what makes Fisher a great place to live

and would like to get involved in organising some awesome events,

come along to the first meeting on Monday 17th

October and get

yourself on the Committee. We only meet twice a term, so it will

only take up your social time if you want it to!

Come down to the Common Room every Sunday

for a selection of cereals, toast, tea, coffee,

and even Nutella if youre lucky!

10:30am 11:30am every Sunday inthe Common Room

Located in the common

room, with wi-fi, TV,
