Cherwell Day<br />

On Cherwell Day we celebrate our relationship with summer and the River Cherwell<br />

by punting, playing croquet, drinking Pimm’s in the gardens and sharing a wellcooked<br />

dinner. Wolfson may not be very old, but already it has some traditions,<br />

Cherwell Day among the finest. It begins with a croquet tournament and punt<br />

regatta: competition is fierce but gentlemanly. These physical pursuits are followed<br />

by a drinks reception in the Harbour Quad and dinner punctuated by a speech from<br />

a senior Wolfsonian known as the Deipnosophist.<br />

The Deipnosophist: Martin Francis<br />

The Day is organized by the Admiral of Punts and the Master of Croquet, and marks<br />

a changing of the guard for both clubs. We look forward to the sun on the river and<br />

the scent of freshly mown grass. Please join us for another day of jovial sport next<br />

year.<br />
