Melbourne Cup Spring Clean 

TRI’s annual Melbourne Cup Spring Clean will be held on Tuesday 6th November 2018.

This is an opportunity for all building occupants to get involved and spring-clean the offices, kitchenettes and lab areas, making them look spick and span again. Following the ‘big clean’, participants are invited to enjoy lunch provided by TRI in the Atrium at 12:30pm, and screening of the Cup race at 2pm in the auditorium.

Important things to keep in mind:

  • Please clear your schedule of non-essential work to help give your lab and/or office areas a comprehensive clean.
  • Please co-ordinate with other labs or offices on your floor to ensure that all communal areas and equipment are cleaned.
  • If you need any additional cleaning materials, please see one of the Scientific Services Team.

This year we will be hosting some games and competitions.
