International Mabel Day XXIV
Sunday December 1st 2024
Mabel's annual tour of Oxford city-centre pubs is back. You now the drill by now, right?
- Meet in the Royal Blenheim, to begin dancing at 12 noon (sharp!)
The Blenheim will be open from around 11am. NOTE that the pub no longer has a kitchen, so they will NOT be selling bacon butties. You can get tea/coffee, though, as well as all the usual pubstuff. - The final details of which pubs, and who goes where, haven't been quite finalised yet. We're sure some of the pubs will look familiar, though! There is apparently some Serious Sportsball occurring on the television, which we're going to have to try and work around (and which has knocked a few regular pubs off the list).
- The various tours will meet up at the Kings Arms in order to re-commence dancing at 4pm. Mabel will bring home-made cake.
Getting There
The postcode for The Royal Blenheim is OX1 1PT. It is about ten minutes walk from the Gloucester Green bus station, about 15 minutes from the train station and easily accessed by the Park & Ride buses.
If you are planning to drive into the city centre, please be advised that parking is a bit of a nightmare. On-street parking is metered and for a limited time. Please consider the Park & Ride as an option!
The Teams
As far as we know, we're currently expecting as definites:
- Birmingham
- Blackstone Edge
- Dancing Spires
- Gaorsach
- Mons Meg
- Northgate
- Shropshire Sharpshins
- Stone Monkey

If you think your team should be on that list and isn't: tell us! If you're on that list and you shouldn't be: tell us that, too!
Perhaps you would like to come along? Perhaps you'd like to bring a rapper side? Drop us a line if you would...
