NB!!! THIS REPLACES THE ‘MONTHLY OXBRIDGE DRINK’
We look forward to meeting new Oxford students at our Freshers Dinner before the start of their Michaelmas term, on Tuesday 16 September at 19h, at Restaurant Chiche!, 20 Av. Pasteur, 2310 Limpertsberg, Luxembourg
This is a packed Oxbridge weekend! Yesterday OUSL organised the Walk and Lunch in Müllerthal and today Camsoc is spearheading a fun time of croquet and pizza.
As we approach the beginning of the academic year, the time has come for soon-to-be Oxbridge Freshers to join us at our annual Oxbridge croquet event.
As always, whether you are complete beginners or experienced croquet “strategists”, we look forward to seeing you in good number on the croquet lawn.
When? : Sunday 14th September 2025 from 14h.
Where? : at Parc Pescatore in Luxembourg city.
What to wear? : A nice hat perhaps to keep the sun off? A blazer for the mid-September breeze?
What to bring? : We will bring along the equipment to play croquet, a few drinks and some reusable plastic glasses. Please feel free to bring along some nibbles, drinks, picnic gear, etc. We will of course recap the rules of the game, so don’t worry if you have either forgotten the rules or are complete novices at croquet.
Post-croquet dinner: It has become customary that after the croquet we go for dinner together with the Freshers in attendance. A number of the croquet-playing alumni and their guests usually decide to join for dinner. We will make a reservation at Bacchus for the dinner.
RSVP: As the event is weather dependent, in case you might need help to find the exact location within the park on the day of the event, and so we can reserve places accordingly for the dinner, please register with Camsoc for the event by clicking on the following link:
https://forms.office.com/e/rhRQ9fQf94
We will add you to a croquet Whatsapp group and then send out a group message on the day to confirm our view on the weather and ground conditions (e.g. ground not too damp in case it has rained, etc.) and in case you need any help to find our exact location.
You are of course welcome to bring partners, children and friends but please do let us know how many you will be when you register your attendance.
We look forward to seeing you on the croquet lawn.
With best wishes from the Oxford and Cambridge alumni societies in Luxembourg.
