General amenities include the dining hall, which is also used for major social functions, a television room, with teletext and satellite facilities, a library, a computer room linked to the University network, an art studio, a darkroom, a music room with a grand piano, a bar, a launderette, a snooker room and facilities for table-tennis. A range of social events is organised by the JCR Committee including discos, a ball and musical performances. Cultural activities have included revues, plays, informal musical groups and an art club. On the sporting front, the Hall football and rugby teams have been notably successful in recent years. There are four tennis courts and four squash courts in the Hall grounds.
Meals are normally self-service but formal dinners are held at intervals.
At regular guest nights students are invited to dine with the Hall SCR and other senior members of the University. Hall members are welcome to bring guests to meals by arrangement and on payment. Badock Hall is sufficiently large to cater for a wide variety of interests and activities. The division of the residential accommodation into Units, however, fosters the development of a friendly atmosphere in these smaller social groups. Return to home page .
