Out of interest, who is the current President of Oxford University's Chess Society?

Would you like me to advertise this event on the British Universities' Chess Association website?

Alex, that would be me! I'll message you my e-mail address, I guess you might want it for BUCA events and other things.

Many thanks for the offer - that would be most helpful.

OK, will try to set up an advert shortly.

This has now been done.

Good luck with the event!

Looks splendid, thanks alot.

Furthermore, we will be able to offer lighter refreshments, and also access to the St Hugh's Saturday brunch, which will be open between rounds 1 and 2, and between rounds 2 and 3. The prices are (like most student prices!) very competetive.
