Journal - Good News
Good news for (potential) Wingbeat customers. When we open the doors next week (11th June onwards) there will be a dedicated area which is sound and body limited on the ground floor, and a handy platform to ease access to the second floor.

In practical terms this means that the area to the right side of the bar on the ground floor (marked by a low divider) will have the sound from the music MUCH reduced and sudden sounds lowered. Sound within the area will be minimally affected unless they are over a certain volume. The area will include access to a small portion of the bar. As for the body limited part, the number of people allowed in this area is limited in such a way that it will never be crowded. No, I'm not giving out specific numbers.

The area is intended for people who have problems with loud noises or crowds (and those with them) to still be able to enjoy Wingbeat. If you want to use it because you need to have a quieter conversation please try to make it brief and respect the patrons who absolutely need to be in that area for their own health/peace of mind.

The access platform is voice activated and simple instructions are posted at both the top and bottom of the stairs. This is intended for people with mobility problems, not for those who got too pissed and think they'll fall down the stairs (if you do that we're going to sober you up and throw you out). If you have need of it and can't read the instructions please ask a member of staff. Don't forget there's at least one regular member of staff who actually needs to use it so he doesn't hold up people climbing the stairs (that'd be me).

Basically we're using an honour system until we find we need to do something otherwise. Usual club rules apply otherwise, try not to be dicks about this.

Feel free to ask questions. And thank you Dominic Chambers for all your hard work.
