<p class="MsoNormal">My name is Matt Winslade. I'm one of the OCM's
for UCC, the University Computer Club, for 2019-2020. I'm looking
to speak to tenancy about the card reader locks for Cameron Hall.
At current, the doors to Cameron Hall lock after hours, at 6pm and
over weekends, and can be unlocked with a student or staff card.
I'm not a student. I graduated in 2016. By restricting access
After Hours, the card-reader locks are inhibiting access to clubs
for non-student members, like myself. Because I work full time,
the only time I am available to volunteer towards my role on
committee is during hours that I am now not able access the
building.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am non-student member of three clubs within
Cameron Hall. These would be UCC, UniSFA and Unigames. I'm a
former committee member for Unigames and UniSFA. I am currently
trusted to hold the Unigames club-room as a Gatekeeper. This is a
responsibility I hold or have held for all three of these of
clubs. As part of this, I have been helping run events since I
graduated. I attend busy bees to help maintain the clubroom. I
assist with Food Runs. I also attend events when I am able.
Cameron Hall clubs represent a large portion of my time at
university and I want to continue to volunteer towards these
clubs. With the card readers in place, I need to be let into the
building to do these things, which is more than an inconvenience
to myself and others.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">UCC has a large number of former students who
continue to volunteer time and resources to maintain the club, the
room, and the club's systems and resources. These members
regularly meet on Mondays after hours, to do project work that
benefits the club. This includes maintenance on some of the clubs
equipment and servers. Nearly all of our events are run after
hours, typically after 5PM and or over the weekend. If there is a
system issue or a problem with the club's servers, we also need
non-student members to be able to have access and fix whatever
problem there might be as promptly as possible. This is part of
the reason we have 24 hour access for the club. <br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At current, our regular committee meetings are
after hours, at 7pm. This week, I was unable to attend the meeting
because I did not have my phone and I had no way to contact anyone
to let me in. This one is my fault, but would not have been issue
without the locks. I can understand why the locks were put in
place, and I do not expect to have the locks removed. The purpose
of this email is to ask how best to work within this system. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I am to access Cameron Hall after hours,
what process do I follow?<br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With their committee's approval, I've CC'd
UniSFA and Unigames into this email. I can't speak for them but
would like to keep them aware, as I know they also have non
student members. <br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I look forward to hearing back from you about
this.</p>
