Rules and regulations of the music room

The music room can only be booked by paid members. If you wish to get membership, please speak to VP Finance.
If the music room is booked for use by a society, non-members can use the music room under the following conditions:
- At least one paid member is present at all times;
- The music room is only used for the period it is booked. If your society has the music room booked from 1pm to 4pm, all non-paid members must leave at 4pm.
Equipment must not be removed from the room without the permission of a senior officer, technical officer or societies officer. The exception to this is pianos, which are booked separately; if you require the music room and a piano, you need to book both. If you remove equipment, it must be returned before the next confirmed booking. You can only remove equipment from the room if:
- The room is not booked, and you are a paid member;
- The room is booked by your society;
- The room is booked by another society who allow you to move equipment.
If you move pianos from the music room, they must be returned before the next booking. When moving pianos, do so slowly and with care; the more they get knocked or pushed over bumps, the more out of tune they will be.
The music room is not a space for dance rehearsals or socialising. The AHR and HGR are for dance rehearsals, and the games room and bar are for socialising. The music room is solely for the practice, rehearsal or recording of music.
No food or drink should be consumed in the music room, with the exception of bottled soft drinks. This is especially true of alcoholic drinks - anyone found consuming alcohol in the music room is liable to have their membership revoked without refund.

HIPCHIPS

To counteract dreary exam-filled January, HIPCHIPS in London's Soho, is offering students a very special discount this month. For university goers who are feeling the pinch after the festive period, HIPCHIPS is inviting them to simply flash their ISIC card at the till in order to receive 15% off their purchase of hand-made freshly fried crisps with an array of delicious dips of their choice.

Famous for its five varieties of handcrafted, heritage crisps accompanied by both sweet and savoury dips, HIPCHIPS’ central Soho location on Old Compton Street is also the perfect spot to indulge in a take on the great British snack. Crisps and dips go hand in hand with beer and wine, and HIPCHIPS have matched the food with a carefully curated selection of craft beers, wines, cocktails and soft drinks.

HIPCHIPS', the world's first crisp and dip cafe, is even open to those having a crack at Veganuary. On offer are a new selection of vegan dips that are sure to tantalise the tastebuds and provide the perfect balance between naughty pleasure and healthy treat.

If that isn't tempting enough, you can even have them delivered to your door through UberEats and Quipup.
