There isnt really a lot around there cafe wise there used to be a little thief on the A34 about 3 miles from Cowley roundabout, there are a few cafe's in Oxford itself but more the Coffee house type, I work up that way quite a lot and its typically Tesco's or the services.

Most of the lads go to the services at J8a, but be warned you will need to empty your piggy bank first. There is an ASDA store on the way from the M40 to the venue though, along with a pub.

reserves as listed elsewhere

meet junction 8a m40 services (which is not on the motorway), and very difficult to miss as its a masive complex marked services. 8am to 9 am

move to rolfs which is 2.95 miles from the services directions will be posted the day before the match.

draw 9.30. fish 11.30 to 4.30 ( yes i know ive changed it by 30 mins larry send me the bill) some of our anglers need help to there pegs so ive allowed time for this, leaders making decisions lol.

be warned . you have to use their pellets £ 2.50 a bag dip all your nets and weigh and return any fish over 10 lbs.

also there are very few small carp so tool up accordingly. red hydro was only just enough and 018 is a minimum line as well as carp hooks largest allowable size 10 ( 911).

like all venue,s there are good pegs and bad pegs. but i weighed in 6 fish for 50lb and lost at least 8 more fish. the winner had 250lb and was dissapointed not to get over 300lbs, second 202lbs tenth had over 110 lbs, and only 17 fished.
