OXFORDSHIRE

Properly speaking, Oxfordshire is confined to the northern bank of the River Thames, from Henley in the East through the major city of Oxford and away westward among the quiet water-meadows to the Gloucestershire border. The other side of the river is the Royal County of Berkshire, even though some of its residents have to pay Council Tax to Oxfordshire these days. But the Thames is by no means the County’s only river – the Windrush, the Evenlode, the Dorn, the Ray and the Cherwell all feed the Father from the northern side, and beautiful, clear, and unpolluted streams they are. 

Girls’ Chess in Oxfordshire
For very many years, Oxfordshire had excellent girl players, and this was due in no small part to the quiet and supportive encouragement they received from the Team manager Lester Millin. And now under the wing of Heather Lang, they have become one of the strongest teams competing in the ECGCF.
