Five years ago today Marcus Banks, a member of @WolfsonCollege, died suddenly and tragically. He will be long remembered. We planted a tree to remember him, and yesterday it was glowing brightly in the evening sun.

A great day for @WolfsonCollege as our men’s first team go Head of the river for the first time ever (ehem, the women got there three years ago). The boat is named Karl Davis, after our ex Head Steward, who was there to enjoy it all. Credit to our St Cross partners.
