Accomodation
Consideration was given to the distance to the throwing fields, dining facilities, transport and level of accomodation.
The World Cup 2000 has selected Glenn College as its home base. It will be an enjoyable and convenient place to reside whilst competing in the world cup. Prices for the accomodation will be available shortly and I am sure the throwers will be happy with the arrangements.
Accomodation
There is a choice of living styles. Two wings with each floor comprised of 30 bed-study rooms, and two wings containing `units' where six bed-study rooms are grouped around a central common room. Bedding is provided and clean linen is supplied each week. The residences have wall-to-wall carpet, and are centrally heated. Bed/study rooms are cleaned weekly.
Assistance with many problems of a practical nature may be obtained from the domestic staff who clean and service the rooms, or from the Porters.
The College Nurse provides health advice and assistance as appropriate to residents of College. The College Nurse also maintains a liaison with the University Health Service.
John Dumaresq is the Senior Residential Assistant, assisting the Head and cordinator of the team of Residential Assistants who are responsible for the operation of the college after hours.Residential Assistants are appointed to assist residents and act as Duty Resident providing after hours assistance on a rostered basis. They are also in charge of a floor of approximately 30 residents and come to know each resident, acting as a referral point for the many activities available in the College and on campus.
Kitchen
The cost of daily breakfast and dinner is included in the residential fee. Lunches may be purchased in the Dining Hall or restaurant at Glenn College, or at other venues on campus. Each wing also has a small kitchen which is ideal for cooking lunches or for that late night snack.
Computer Access
All bed/study rooms are linked to the university computer network, with connection to the Internet and e-mail facilities possible. Students with computers equipped with ethernet cards are able to access full world wide web facilities. The college computer assistants provide advice and assistance with connections and network usage. An annual fee of $40.00 for connection applies.
Glenn College is situated next to the Computer Study Hall which has 70 PCs equipped with the latest software and open extended hours.
Laundry
An iron, ironing board, automatic washing machine and drier are located on each floor.
Recreation
Recreation facilities include colour television sets and video units, billiards tables, and table tennis equipment. The recreation area contains an excellent stereo system, and a room is available for piano practice. On campus recreation includes the Union, which provides various facilities and the Eagle Bar. SARA (the Sports and Recreation Association), which is approximately 1 minute walk from College, provides a multitude of sporting facilities, including swimming, basketball, tennis, cricket and gym equipment. The La Trobe Golf course can also be used.
