Yeah, agreed. We should also in that case make *sure* that we are
early for each shift, and leave late. A few minutes' overlap for
handover is a good plan anyway.

Also agreed.

Another point - we *really* need to have more than one person on a
front-desk shift at once (2 at the moment, more at busy times):
* toilet breaks
* security / safety
* bandwidth (not critical now, but come next Saturday/Sunday we'll be
overwhelmed)
And I'm assuming we also need to have on-call orga support for the
overnight sessions at Bristo Hall.
I've extended the wiki tables and added myself for several
sessions. Please join in.
