This was a packed Oxbridge weekend! Yesterday OUSL organised the hike in Müllerthal and today Camsoc spearheaded the annual game of croquet in Parc Pescatore followed by pizza.
We had a great turnout from both societies with participants of all ages and a good number of students joining in. We were extremely lucky as the park was bathed in sunshine for most of the afternoon. With glasses of crémant and nibbles in hand, we did our best to follow Fanny and Andrew’s expert instructions in the fine art of croqueting. Two matches were played – three teams in the first match, and two in the second. The ingenious format left plenty of time to chat and have a laugh between turns, and the day wrapped up with a pizza at Bacchus for around fifteen of the group, mostly students. Once again, a thoroughly nice day in a thoroughly nice weekend.
What a lovely day this was! Our former Chair, Andrew Hallam, led us through a path in the beautiful Müllerthal. On our way we passed the waterfall and walked through the narrow path of Eulenberg towards the top with its stunning view. Our group was certainly not alone on the tracks which we shared with a lot of enthusiastic runners competing in various races, so it was a busy but fun hike. Afterwards we enjoyed a good lunch at Heringer Millen and by the time we left, the sun had come out, making it a perfect day out. Thanks again to Andrew for being our expert trail finder and to David for initiating this event, despite being unable to join us.
