RUSCCF Meeting map_9 April 21 attached
Please note change of room (same as last time).
You must wear a mask.
 
Please see email from USC below
 
 We have had to change venue for Friday’s meeting. I have booked room CG.50 – the same tutorial room used for the last meeting - ground floor building C (please see attached map). 
 
Parking has been arranged in CP2 outside Building B, the boom gate should be open on arrival. 
 
Unfortunately, the change of venue and current COVID restrictions mean that we cannot serve tea and coffee, so we will have canned drinks, bottled water and biscuits as we did last meeting. Please note that masks must be worn by attendees at all times, unless eating and drinking (whilst seated). 
 
We apologise for any inconvenience. Please pass this change on to your members.
 
Regards
