Oxford Day 2008
Oxford Day is coming up on November 15th or may November 7th - email said the 7th, but the poster says the 15th - a second email has confirmed the 15th. For some reason Oxford has decided to promote the even by making all the info as one giant image thus preventing copy & paste. Stupid Stupid Stupid.
