6. PARTIES AND MUSIC 6.1 PARTIES If you wish to give a party in College or in a hostel at which more than ten people will be present, you must obtain the permission of the Dean at least a week beforehand and before invitations are sent out. You should first see the Dean in person in order to discuss location, duration, number of guests, music etc and then fill in a booking form, obtainable from the Porters’ Lodge. The use of amplified music at such parties should be discussed with and approved by the Dean. You should make adequate arrangements to deal with possible gatecrashers and you must not expect the Housekeeping Assistant to clear and wash up unless you make special arrangements with him or her; please don’t leave the room in a state which will cause extra work. If you do, you will be charged for the work involved. If any guests are sick at a party, the host is responsible for clearing it up, or paying the cleaning fine if that is necessary. The fine is passed on to the Housekeeping Assistant who cleans up the vomit. Larger parties may be held in the Diamond. Small lunch or dinner parties may be held in the Borradaile Room. These rooms may be booked, with the Dean’s permission, through the Catering & Conference Office; booking forms for College rooms and the booking schedule are also kept there. Booking forms are also available from the Porters’ Lodge. A similar procedure should be followed to book public rooms for committee or society meetings. For such functions a prior meeting with the Dean is desirable but not essential. A booking form must, however, be submitted on every occasion. Times when the Dean is available for consultation are displayed on a noticeboard in the Porters’ Lodge. Both senior and junior members have expressed concern at the misuse of alcohol at parties in College. A code of conduct agreed by senior and junior members is contained in Section 7.7. 6.1.1 Quiet Periods During the two examination periods that fall in the Easter Term, there are two formal Quiet Periods during which no parties, private dinners, or other large social gatherings are permitted. No events, indoors or out, at which loud music or other amplified noise is played are allowed during either of these Quiet Periods. The same restrictions apply to external bookings. The Dean is, however, empowered to allow formally-constituted, non-sporting societies to hold small dinners during either of the Quiet Periods, provided that a Fellow is present to ensure that order is kept and to encourage timely and quiet dispersal at the end. During the quiet periods musical instruments may be played in rooms only between the hours of 1.30 pm and 5.30 pm each day. During these periods undergraduates reading for the Music Tripos and taking the performance option will have priority in booking the Music Practice Room. In cases where students need to play the Chapel Organ as part of their preparation for the performance option in Part II of the Music Tripos, the full volume of the instrument may only be used between 3.00 pm and 7.30 pm. In the final week of Full Term, and beginning on the Saturday before the end of Full Term, the Dean may allow certain private dinners and parties to take place. These must not feature amplified music or other noise, but may be indoor or outdoor events. They will be subject to all the usual College regulations, and to any conditions imposed by the Dean. It is anticipated that they will be fewer in number per day, and of a more restrained nature, than some events that may be allowed in May Week. The Dean must be consulted about any proposal for social events in College during either of the Quiet Periods. S Selwyn College Undergraduate Student Guide 2013-14 35
These regulations apply to all members of College. Please note that it is necessary, however, for certain routine College activities, such as lawn-mowing and unobtrusive maintenance, to continue during the two Quiet Periods. 6.2 MUSIC You are asked to keep the courts, hostels and gardens quiet, because there are always other people working. You should not, in general, play musical instruments (which can be particularly disturbing) except between the following times: Monday to Friday Saturday Sunday 1.00 pm – 5.30 pm 7.30 pm – 8.30 pm 1.00 pm – 10.00 pm 10.00 am – 10.00 pm (except during Evensong) If your instrumental or singing practice is likely (for example by its duration) to disturb your neighbours, you should practise in the College music room, situated on the 2 nd Floor of the Hall block. Music hours do not apply to this room. The Diamond in Cripps Court and the Lyttelton Room (Ground Floor, G Staircase) may also be used on application to the Porters’ Lodge. Rehearsals and/or concerts in Hall may take place during the following times: Monday to Saturday Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings (if no other function is being held) Sunday 2.30 pm – 5.00 pm 7.30 pm – 10.00 pm 2.00 pm – 5.00 pm 8.30 pm – 10.00 pm Radios, music systems and televisions should at all times be adjusted so as to cause minimal disturbance to your neighbours, and may only be played outside music hours if they are inaudible in neighbouring sets of rooms. Residents of Old Court are assured that there are restrictions on the playing of the Chapel Organ at full volume. This is mainly limited to services, choir practices and occasional Sunday evening organ recitals, and to the following additional times: Monday to Friday 3.00 pm – 8.30 pm; Saturday and Sunday, 1.00 pm – 3.00 pm. The Dean of Chapel and the Director of Music may grant occasional exceptions to these arrangements. Whenever possible, notice of these exceptions will be posted on the Chapel Noticeboard outside the Porters’ Lodge. An additional restriction on the playing of musical instruments in rooms is in place during the two Quiet Periods (see above 6.1.1). 36 Selwyn College Undergraduate Student Guide 2013-14
