Good course :thumbup
No TV's in the room. To be honest I doubt you will have any time to watch TV. You could always use the computer room to check up on the news or if you've a laptop take that with you as there is wi-fi through-out the building.

Our elections are every 2 years in my office.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Alvescot Lodge. Brings back memories. Used to play footie for Carterton, which is next to RAF Brize Norton. Played Alvescot many times. The pitch used to be behind the Lodge and the Pub just down the road, and smack behind one of the main runways. Pubs name anyone?
