Default Moving a projector in a school

We wanted to move a projector & interactive board from one room to
another. The caretakers have said they'll move these so no problems there.
However the new location doesn't have a spur for the projector coming from
the mains. Would it be acceptable to put an extension lead in trunking
coming from the projector back to a normal socket on the wall? Could the
audio/VGA leads be included in this same trunking or should separate
trunking be used for that


I'd recommend you get an electrician to fit an extra 13A socket on the
ceiling adjacent the pole and plug the projector in directly - cost about
£100. What you do with the VGA and audio cables is up to you. Make sure the
projector is adequately fixed so it doesn't fall on someone's head.

Never ask too many health and safety questions, it's like a game of pedant
top-trumps with who can find the most inventive reason not to do something
simple.
