Tool Cupboard and Projects Area
Members can access the tool cupboard and projects area for essential
equipment repairs and less-essential tinkering.

Usenet has thousands of different newsgroups with gazillions of messages posted each day. Members can read and post using the UCC's network facilities.
Webcam
UCC has a number of webcams in the room, which function in both the on
and the off modes. It would seem to an unwary outsider, they mostly
function in the off mode. As well as a live view of the webcams, there
are extensive browable
archives online.

If you want to publish anything on the Web, the UCC can provide reasonable amounts of space and bandwidth. Naturally, we encourage you to conserve diskspace and bandwidth.
