What we expect from you...

  • Be considerate of other LRC users – respect the rights of others to work quietly:
    - keep noise to a minimum;
    - ensure your mobile phone is in silent mode or switched off when you enter the LRC - if you wish to make or receive a call, please do it outside the LRC;
    - make sure that your media player cannot be heard by other people.
