Contact Details

The TIMPANI system is designed to be fully automatic. It should be possible to find out everything you need from this website (if there is something missing, please let us know, and we'll add it.) However, nothing is that simple and so you may need to contact one of the people below:

The CUMS Instrument Manager is Simon Smart who should be your first point of contact for any problems. He is responsible for the maintenance of the instruments and should be able to assist in the event of a defect, or if an instrument cannot be found. He may be e-mailed at *.

Please use email rather than the telephone for non-urgent enquiries, as this will almost always allow us to provide a more helpful response. If you have an urgent problem, please call 07887 812841.
The CUMS Instrument Secretary is Sam Kemp who should be contacted in the event of any issues with the TIMPANI system, or in the event of a booking needing to be altered or cancelled. His email address is *.
General email queries may be sent to *; this delivers to both the Instrument Manager and Instrument Secretary to allow your query to be resolved as quickly and accurately as possible.
The Treasurer of CUMS, is Nick Shaw. Contact the treasurer by email at *; please remit payment as detailed on your invoice, or by post to Whaddon Grange, Bridge Street, Whaddon, Royston SG8 5SP, or c/o The Faculty of Music, 11 West Road, Cambridge CB3 9DP.
The Secretary of CUMS is Chloe Davidson. Email the secretary at * or post items to 25 Hills Avenue, Cambridge CB1 7UY. In an emergency, you can telephone.
The Custodians of the West Road Concert Hall are at the Faculty of Music in West Road. Contact the custodians to check the opening hours, but not with instrument hire queries. The Custodians are at The Faculty of Music, 11 West Road, Cambridge CB3 9DP. (Telephone: 01223 335180).
Bug reports and feature requests for TIMPANI should be directed to the Instrument Secretary.
The CUMS committee page is here.

This button helps to reduce the amount of spam we receive, because most spambots are not intelligent enough to press it. Sorry for the inconvenience - we think it is better than munging the email addresses.
