The Senior Common Room is headed by the Warden of the Hall and includes 2 Deputy Wardens, and 4 Senior Residents (SR). One of these SRs is on duty every evening during the week, between 8pm and 11.30pm; and at the weekend, between 2 pm and 11.30pm. They are available if a student is locked out of their room, or if a problem arises in Hall. At other times, as a resident you are invited to make appointments to speak to the Warden or Senior Resident who is responsible for the area in which you live, about any difficulties that you might be experiencing in your life at University or at home.
The Warden is ultimately responsible for all aspects of the CHH students' welfare in Hall and, along with his team of Senior Residents, can advise on academic or personal matters and has pastoral and disciplinary responsibilities within Hall.
Dr Richardson first graduated from the University of Bristol with a degree in Aeronautical Engineering. This was followed by a PhD in Flight Mechanics and Control, after which he was offered a lectureship in the subject at the University. His research interests lie in the field of aircraft control, in particular applied to Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs). He is married and lives close to the Hall. In his spare time he can often be found flying microlights over Cornwall.
