“2024 – MAD Return to Minehead!” The MAD made a glorious return to Minehead after
a five year absence, once again falling in love with
the beauty of North Somerset, the steam trains and all the perfectly
hospitable watering holes. All the usual reportage to be found in the ‘Match
Rambles’ … one day we will return!

“2024 Virtual Nets!” An excellent
opportunity for a winter social, catch-up and a few pints was the Sixes
Cricket which opened recently at the Westgate in Oxford City Centre. Teams
were split in two, with about an hour afforded to whacking the ball against
scoring pads after being delivered by a virtual bowler. All good fun, with
Messrs Reeves and Shorten the best of the best.

trip to the Blue Room atop the St Aldates Tavern, and another chance for a good
boozathon where the team celebrates themselves and
those that have actually cut the mustard this season. Minutes and a report

“2023 – Junior MAD Figure Skating Competition!” After heavy recent
rainfall and temperatures akin to those in the Ukraine, Brasenose College
Sports Ground has moved quickly with preparations for Oxford’s purely
fictional and often unreported Junior Figure Skating Competition. It is hoped
ticket sales are good and the adjacent Tap Social
pub can “tap” into a swell of hungry and thirsty punters.
