We had the annual council meeting today which passed off without event and with much good humour.  I wish all full council meetings were like that.

We the had the first meeting of the Licencing and Gambling Acts committee.  I was elected vice-chair and Mary Clarkson is chair.

At 5pm we had the ceremonial council meeting in the Assembly Room.  John Goddard formally took over the role of Lord Mayor of Oxford and many speeches were made proposing and seconding him, the Sherrif (Colin Cook) and the Deputy Lord Mayor (Dee Sinclair) as well as the outgoing postholders.
