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
8pm 10pmSunday Thursday
Located in the common
room, with wi-fi, TV,
x-box and music!
