Rooms with hand-basins
This year we are not charging extra for having a hand basin in your bedroom. This is because we don't think the bathrooms for those bedrooms are in are as good as the bathrooms in the other houses.
The house we used last year is having renovation done and is not available for us to use.
Bathrooms
- The shower cubicles doors are glass and there isn't a dressing area in them or space for a towel. They are very like home ones. We won't be using them. There are a couple of baths we can use with proper wooden door cubicles. The baths have showers above them.
Bedrooms
- The bedroom doors have a glass panel (sort of opaque but not fully) running vertically down them. If you care about people seeing you, especially when you have a light on please bring something to cover the vertical panel. For example a long thick scarf you can drape over the door top to cover the window. or some paper and bluetac.
- Update 10 July: We will be bringing blackout window paper and bluetac to cover this panel to stop the corridor light streaming into the bedrooms.
- There is no lockable storage area in the bedrooms. There are lockers in the corridors you can use. Please provide your own padlock. You want a small one, about the size of a suitcase lock.
Location
- The house they are in is a little further away than the others. It is opposite the car park we asked people to use last year. The house is number 34 on the school map (bottom left corner) and the car park is opposite it labelled Visitors' car park. The dining hall is number 29 and the presentations will mainly be in numbers 23 and number 22. There is an uphill steep slope from the house to the presentation areas. (The other two houses we have are numbers 19 and 13 which are in the top centre of the map).
What you can do
- Provisional: There is a smaller bathroom which we will make single use off peak. Provisionally off-peak is 09:30-21:00.
- Update 10 July. There is an area of the house reserved for people who need ground floor bedrooms for medical reasons. The showers in that area do have wooden doors and a changing area. Every one in the house can use these outside of peak times. During peak hours one or two must be kept free for the people who have to have ground floor bedrooms. The number will depend on how many people must have ground floor bedrooms. These will be labelled.
- We have a few private photos of some of the areas described. If you need to see them then email the registrar - registrar@autscape.org.
Conclusion
You have a hand basin but you lose out on other facilities. That's why we are not charging extra. Unfortunately we cannot use the building we had last year as it is being renovated during August.
