Storthes Hall & Ashenhurst March Newsletter

Posted March 15th, 2010 by DIGS Admin. Filed in Ashenhurst, Storthes Hall, Uncategorized

Looks like spring is in the air!

So we admit it, we’re so excited about the sunshine here at Digs Huddersfield that we are all a little bit giddy. Who cares that’s it’s still a bit nippy? We can see blue sky and the daffodils are growing and as usual, Huddersfield is looking fabulous in the sunshine. Before you know it we’ll all be in our swimwear and barbecuing everything possible. Delicious.

Storthes Hall Park and Ashenhurst Houses are great places to be over summer. With picnics, sunbathing and BBQ’s all being at the top of the to do list (along with coursework and revision of course!).  So for those who do have impending exams we of course wish you the best of luck (not that you’ll need it). We also offer summer accommodation at the fantastic rate of £65/week, so if you don’t want to trek all the way back home you don’t have to! See the accommodation office for details.

Deposit Return Forms

For the boring bit: Letters have recently gone out to all your rooms with a deposit return form attached. It’s really important that you fill these forms in and return them to us as soon as possible so we can return your pennies as soon as possible! It’s a lengthy process sorting out your deposits and we anticipate them hitting your bank accounts in early August. To ensure that your full deposit is returned keep your room sparkly and report any wear and tear to the site reception so we can look at it for you.

Smoking

Please remember that if you’re in a non smoking flat then you will need to step outside for that cigarette. Smoking in a non smoking block can incur a charge so if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us at the accommodation office!

Upcoming events at Storthes Hall Park & Ashenhurst Houses

And now for the fun bit! We have loadsa cracking events for you this month. March 13^th is the D Bar Easter Scavenger hunt from 4pm onwards with lots of awesome prizes to be won! Then as usual, we will be celebrating St Patrick’s Day in style @ The D Bar. If only Guinness wasn’t so terrible on the old tum tum! And of course our X Factor final is Friday 12^th…. So if your voice just needs to be heard we’ll see you there! We have loads going on at the D-Bar for you guys to enjoy this term….
