International Mabel Day XV
Sunday December 7th 2014*
Mabel's annual tour of Oxford city-centre pubs is back. And it will be glorious! May contain traces of gin.
The overall plan for this year's extravaganza is as follows (why yes, it is very like last year's plan):
- Meet from 11am in the Royal Blenheim, to begin dancing at 12 noon (sharp!)
The Blenheim will be serving tea, coffe, bacon butties and all the usual morning stuff (plus, of course, beer from their amazing array of handpumps). - We plan to move on to the Far From the Madding Crowd around 1:15.
- Then it all goes a bit free form, and we will split into separate tours that will be organised on the hoof.
- Meet up at the Kings Arms in order to begin dancing at 4pm. Ali promises us that there will be food as usual and - we dare to hope - home-made cake.
The Teams
Well, Mabel will be there. We hope some other teams will, too.
At present we are expecting (with varying degrees of certainty) Hawksword, Northgate, Rockingham, Shropshire Rapper, Thrales, Tower Ravens, Triskele, Warwick and Whip the Cat.
Perhaps you would like to come along? Perhaps you'd like to bring a rapper side? Drop us a line if you would...
* Important Footnote
Not, as briefly advertised, Sunday December 6th. The thing about December 6th is that it is not a Sunday. Mabel Day is always the first Sunday in December. Definitely 7th this year. 7th.
