Rules for users of Brookes Drama Studio
---------------------------------------

We should have a copy of Brookes Drama Studio rules
here.  Do you have that Malcolm?  I know you sent it round years
ago but an up-to-date version would be good.

The main things, from memory, are:

1. No fires.
   (No smoking, no candles, no incense sticks, no cooking on
   naked flames (whether on stage or off).  Nothing.  Seriously.)

2. No eating or drinking in the Studio.
   (OK, does that seriously mean no drinking water in the building
   at all?  Would be good to get this clear.  There is a mop and
   bucket there, a shower, toilets and wash basins, so, OK, spilling
   even water on a lighting console could be expensive but sensible
   use of plain water should be OK, no?  I guess the reason for the
   rule is that otherwise the place would get very scuzzy and sticky
   with spilt coke, beer, stale sandwich crumbs, chewing gum, etc.

3. Portable (mains) electrical equipment used in the Studio should
   be PAT tested for safety.  Brookes have a very resonably-priced
   service if you need this done.

...that's all I remember but lets get the rules here for reference!
