Comment	Mr Cane-Hardy’s response
Can we have more mirrors?	Whilst I encourage you to pay close attention to your appearance I believe there are enough mirrors in the hallways and bathrooms. Alternatively you could buy a hand-held mirror and carry it with you at all times. Mr Paynter has one and I’m sure he’ll tell you where he got his.
Can the day boys have book shelves and a desk in the day room?	Good idea – I will speak to the maintenance dept. Space on the walls might be an issue.
We’d like milkshakes in the afternoon	I’m sure you would! This might be an occasional thing rather than regular house drink.
More marmite	Sure – I’ll let Gail know.
We need a place to store valuables	You have lockers and there is a house safe to store any valuables.

The milk goes too quickly – day boys don’t get any	Agreed – the milk is for tea / coffee, rather than milkshakes and energy drinks. I’ll speak with the house.
Can room 1 have a sofa?	No – it’s a room for working. There are sofas in the Gun Room.
House yoga in the Gun Room?	Great idea – I’ll look into it. Perhaps we can buy a yoga DVD and have sessions during enrichment?

Can we replace orange cups with disposable plastic cups?	This is a standing item – the answer remains no!
Can we have a dart board?	I’ve purchased two velcro dart boards for the house. How long will it be before all the darts are lost?
Can we have consistency in the concentration of squash?	Very fussy! I’ll speak with Gail .

When will the windows be cleaned?	I’ll ask
Fix wall in room 30	There is now a rolling programme of maintenance so I hope this (and the Gun Room carpet) will be done soon.
Can we have Earl Grey team in the Galley?	Presumably this has come from Tom Nash. Would you also like cucumber sandwiches in the afternoon? Scones?
When is the next U6 ale society?	Absolutely – Tuesday 19 January, 21.00
Can the carpet be replaced in the Gun Room?	See above
Can we have sun loungers outside in the Summer term?	Great idea – I’m sure you will revise really well on them.
Can we have some inter-house competitions?	Very keen to do this but the lack of light in the evenings and busy day has prevented this so far. We can have football etc. in the summer term. In the meantime I would be delighted if the U6 organised inter-house pool / table tennis. I’ll ask Mr Phillips to run another quiz in the next couple of weeks.
