[CUCBC Coxes] Monday 23rd - Coxing 'seminar'

[Robert Nimmo]

Dear coxes list,

Following on from various requests for clarification, the meeting will be
in the Old Divinity School building, which is opposite St John's College,
and has an entrance just off All Saints' Passage. (This thing -
https://www.joh.cam.ac.uk/divinity-school-1). It's where the Mays Bumps
briefings were held last year.

Hope that clarifies and apologies to the various people I've recieved
confused e-mails from over the last few days,

Robert
