Provisionally, there will be a Silver Wink match in Oxford next Wednesday evening - transport leaving Queens' P'Lodge at 6pm. Please let someone on the committee know if you'd like to spectate, to ensure there is car space for you.

20/05/1999 Next Wednesday's meeting will take place at the Cambridge Beer Festival in the Cambridge City Football Ground (off Milton Road just up from Mitcham's Corner - should be signposted, but if not head for "coach park"); we'll convene at 8pm as usual, and you'll probably need money to get in.

22/10/1998 Whoops. Yes, sorry, The Moment Of Truth is on the 24^th,
not the 31^st, as I'd previously put it on the calendar.

20/10/1998 You may have noticed that there was no pub crawl on Saturday
(oops - actually, I should have corrected this before - I hope no-one turned up),
and that there was no sign of Dr Purvis on the 10th.
The crawl will now happen on the 24^th, which is also the new transmission date for the winking Moment of Truth.

To avoid further confusion, there's now a calendar above, which should make it easier to correct this kind of thing.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
