How to reach the ground
1st XI and 2nd XI: From M40 Junction 6 proceed towards Chinnor on the B4009. Ignore the signpost to Aston Rowant village then the ground is half a mile along on the left, just before you enter the
village of Kingston Blount.
3rd XI: From M40 Junction 6 proceed towards Watlington on the B4009.
After approx 400m turn first right to Lewknor village. Follow road through village back towards the M40 - the recreation ground is on the right.
The 1st XI took a while to adjust to the HCPCL but then achieved some creditable results to finish 8th. The younger players in particular learnt a lot from playing in this higher League. The 2nd and 3rd XIs again had moderate seasons, with player availability causing problems at times.
The retirement of Bill Thompson and the return to Australia of Winton Willesee and Nick O'Hara leaves room for some juniors to establish themselves in the senior teams.

Early taste of Christmas wine
Next week is The Oxford Times Wine Club Christmas Tasting and, with just four weeks to go until Christmas Day, it is an excellent opportunity to sample a specially-selected range of wines for the festive season.
The Mole and Chicken, Easington, near Thame
One of the pictures on this page gives a good impression of the delights to be enjoyed at the Mole and Chicken on one of those sunny days that now seem as far as can be from our present situation.
Imagine This: New London Theatre
I had trouble shifting my +1 for the musical Imagine This, which opened last week at the New London Theatre. No-one was interested (one German friend would have come, but funnily enough I hadn’t thought to ask him), and while nobody actually said, “Sounds like a gas”, there were plenty of unprintable responses, averaging out at: “Holocaust – the musical? Um, no thanks . . . ”
