New lighting bars have been installed and new lights purchased which are controlled by (techy bit) a 96 channel lighting desk. The hall has been fitted with (really techy bit) DMX cabling and (quite easily understood bit) the curtain has been replaced. It really is anyones guess why, now the university includes purple in its corporate pallette, it should replace the purple curtain with a blue one but you can't have everything.

All this work is due to the efforts of Nick Wiggins, UHDS president 1996-1997 who last year and this, his final year, has been working as UH Arts assistant for the University. If only we'd thought to infiltrate earlier.
