Motion to buy a new pool table for use in TV room for all JCR members.
Proposed by: Reuben Fitzsimons
Seconded by: Benjamin Lovejoy, Anton Ball and Henry Wood
This JCR notes:
● The current pool table, although workable, is subject to wear and tear and can be used by other colleges
● Sometimes the bar is too crowded and not the best place to play pool and can be use
● The TV room is currently underused and lacks any recreational things to do.
● The Pool Society lacks any space to host games and practice. It currently has to play at the SU which is nasty and smelly.
● Other JCRs including Van Mildert, Collingwood, and St Johns have pool tables in their common rooms rather than their bar.
This JCR believes:
● A new pool table in the TV room will improve the currently underused space. This will help rejuvenate a college-only space that is underused.
● This new pool table will provide a space for the pool society to practise and host games with other colleges.
● The old pool table should remain in the bar for casual use.
● A college only pool table will not only save booking out the SU tables, but allow a much needed recreational space to improve the mental health of students with an area to wind down, especially in exam season.
● The pool society is in dire need for revitalisation and this will improve engagement as without a table to call home the society is in danger of falling apart.
It is resolved that…
