Howitt Hall

The much anticipated innaugural Howitt Guitar Championship took place on Wednesday the 20th of May. Split into three divisions - easy, medium and expert - there was an opportunity for everyone to get involved. The night kicked off with the medium competition. Michael Petrovic made his way through the tough upper section of the draw, whilst Luci Tham proved the giant slayer in the lower half, taking out the fancied Sheldon Kendrick to advance to the final.

When I first moved into Howitt I was confused about what I should bring to the hall and what would be provided for me. This list details what you’ll find here for you when you move into Howitt, and also some things that many of our past residents have found useful in bringing with them to the hall
