Staff areas

Woodstock has some good facilities for staff relaxation. The Lyons Lounge has a pool table, which is a popular pastime at lunch hour and teatime.

The lounge also has a nice sitting area with magazines, TV, and wireless internet.

Just outside is the tea garden area, much unchanged for the last 50 years or more. The Health Centre is now inside the door shown below, so students walk through here. At afternoon teatime, you can find staff enjoying a few minutes in the sun after a busy day.

And at the opposite end of the tea garden is the familiar lyre tree, long-time symbol of Woodstock. Last week a visitor asked me "What kind of tree is a lyre tree?" I think he was hearing it as a new variety. However, it is a long-needled cheer pine which just happens to have the beautiful shape of a lyre.
