I was a member from 1966 to 1969. I vividly remember June Tabor (then sporting the long black leather boots and leather mini skirt together with long black hair and her stunning looks) playing darts with the lads, pint in hand. I struggle to recall the name of the pub ( was it the Baker's Arms?) but it was in Jericho. We grouped up to an upper meeting room to gather round a warm fire as a string band played old dance tunes. Then it was a round robin as we all took turns singing. June's voice made the hair stand up on the back on my neck. I often told myself one day she would have a recording career she was obviously so outstanding. It took some years before that happened.

Anyway, a reminiscence. I also struggle to remember other names but one leader's name may have been Mike Clark. He was from the Northeast, perhaps Newcastle. Alan Rae was from my college and sang his own humorous songs to his guitar.

I remember it with great affection. A high point in my sojourn at Oxford. I should add that I am also an Oxford native, and now since 1974 and expatriate in the US. I visit my family frequently.
