We have the same arrangements as below, linking to our Senate
Room. This is set up by the Television Services Dept, which also
video the ceremony for sale to graduands. We only find it gets full
on two or three of our fourteen ceremonies. Like Beryl, we find it
useful for parents with young children. It has the advantage that we
can direct them to Senate Room and keep noise levels down in the
Hall (we also offer a creche).
