Update 28/05/2013: Now working enough to be used, tracked at [https://ystv.co.uk/trac/Tarantula]. Won the 2013 NaSTA Technical award.

'''Status:''' Waiting on Estates Services
 
Still known as the Easter Refurb, despite that holiday being long gone, the plan was to repaint both studio and control room, re-carpet both and generally make the place look nicer. Sort of a tech project.
 
Currently Chris Teeling (ZFM) has provisionally agreed to fix our blinds but put the floor etc on hold for a little while due to the potential to move into a new space. It should be noted this is a very early stage, the idea to move was mooted but nobody has said yes in any way shape or form. The individuals listed above are working on details.
