Of course, I'm in no position to volunteer Oxford, and following the organising-fest of last year, like RObin I want to stay as far away as possible from organising anything, but perhaps if Oxford plan to run an Old-team, new team match, this would be a perfect place to trial the new team match format, not least because we could also engineer uneven teams and odds and sods teams, whilst having the diversity from Oxford A (or Oxford ex. :) ), right through to the beginners team. Is this year's committee considering running the event?
