April Newsletter for Waterways Residents

Social Events
Recent feedback has shown that you would prefer the social event to be held in the middle of May as many of you haven't returned from Easter yet and have exams in the first week of May. The RC’s are in the process of arranging the resident trip to the Nottingham Ice Arena. For further information please speak to Senior RC Jacob Bould who has been planning the event for sometime.

Competition
Well done to those who have taken us up on the Video tour competition. We still welcome more participants. Closing date is 26th May. See www.mainstaystudent.co.uk/competitions or the accommodation office for more details.

Maintenance
Please report problems promptly and remember to sign a maintenance form as Jim can not enter a room otherwise without your presence which will delay the process. We will always try and rectify a problem as soon as possible. In some cases we are waiting for parts from our suppliers so please be patient. We do chase the parts regularly to get all jobs resolved a quickly as we can.

Resident Co-ordinators
Please make sure you contact us if you have any issues, particularly in the evening. We are here to help. We will shortly be putting out information on the Ice skating trip! Watch Facebook and the Notice boards for more information.

Helpful Tip for not setting of Alarms
When cooking in your apartment, please be aware that your kitchen door needs to be shut! The fire doors are there for a reason and cooking with it open leaves a window for fire to spread easily. Also should you burn anything i.e. toast etc, this will cause the main building fire panel to activate.

For Information, please remember that we have a fire drill every Thursday around 12 noon. The fire procedure is displayed on the notice boards and a letter copy is being prepared for all tenants. Please make sure you evacuate the building to the assembly point whenever you hear the alarm.


Thank you to all those that have completed a questionnaire for us so far. If you are still to do one, please see us in the office as you pass!
