Brakes move for Blossom

Unconfirmed reports have suggested that Leamington have made a move for creative Banbury United midfielder Wayne Blossom. A number of players have left the club in recent weeks because the size of the squad means that they cannot all be guaranteed a regular game.

Leamington's Friday night game against the Bones has now been re-scheduled for Saturday afternoon at the New Windmill Ground after Rothwell's floodlights were vandalised.

I still can't go as I'm 'in attendance' at Worcester College, Oxford, all day Saturday. At least I don't have to wear subfusc which makes you look like a superannuated waiter on the train. I remember once examining someone at Balliol on a hot summer's day and we only had to do a quick procession round the courtyard, but the candidate had to walk from near the railway station in full regalia being photographed by tourists: it probably made their day.

Worcester College is known for its extensive gardens which are not that visible from the road, hence why one of the key posts in the College is 'Master of the Gardens'.

One of the real treats in Oxford is All Souls with its hexagonal lunch room for the Fellows which was meant to encourage conversation, although in practice it doesn't. Another room has a network map of the powerful in Tudor England painted on the ceiling. The Mallard sign of the College is liberally in evidence: apparently at the turn of each century, the Fellows appear on the roof to sing 'The Mallard Song' but I missed that. I wonder what the tune is and if we could use it at The Valley.
