Members are therefore encouraged to arrange their own insurance for their property, and to make sure that cover extends to property which is left in rooms or stores during vacations. Money should never be left in unlocked rooms. Electrical goods and articles of value should not be left in College stores. A key reported lost at the end of term will result in a charge being raised for the replacement of the lock. See Room Charge above for excess room charges raised if a key is not signed in to the Porter's Lodge by the last day of term.
Keys are to be issued only to the person to whom the room is assigned.
The greatest care must be taken with all electrical appliances because of the risk of fire. The use of candles, joss sticks and other naked flames in College rooms is discouraged. If used they must be in a suitable container and sensible precautions taken to ensure that there is no risk of fire. Important notices are posted on the Screens and on staircases drawing attention to the action which should be taken in the event of fire. Fire appliances are available on the staircases and at the Porters Lodges at Great Gate, New Court, Burrell's Field and Blue Boar Court.
