Griffin Centre Security System:

Access to the Griffin Centre after 6 pm is controlled by a security system. Members should use the intercom system to the left of the main entry to call the meeting room at which the meeting is being held: meeting room 9 on number 037 after about 6.30 pm (Display meetings), 023 for meetings in the clubroom (Postcards, Exchange Nights) or 035 for Rm 8 (Sales by Tender). You will need to verbally identify yourself to the person answering who can operate the door and give you access to the lift. The lift will only come to our floor in the Griffin Centre! You should not allow non philatelic attendees to enter the building - they need to call their own group for access. These numbers are on a list by the intercom to the left of the main entrance.
