  Our summer calendar would not be complete without gathering by the lake, so we are delighted to invite you to June’s Monthly Drinks on Thursday, 24 July 2025, from 18:30 to 21:30 at the iconic La Potinière Genève, Le, Jard. Anglais, 1204 Genève

  A Setting Made for Summer Evenings

  Perched on the promenade facing Lake Geneva, La Potinière Genève, pairs crisp contemporary design with one of the city’s most mesmerising panoramas: sailboats gliding past, indigo foothills beyond, and the Jet d’Eau catching the sunset’s last glow. Whether you choose a linen-draped banquette indoors or a teak café table on the terrace, you’ll be perfectly placed to:

  Watch dusk settle over the water while sharing Oxbridge stories;

  Toast old friendships and spark new ones in an atmosphere that is equal parts laid-back and luxurious;

  Savour the hushed buzz of Geneva’s lakeside boulevard on a summer night.

  Practicalities

  Dress code:

  Smart casual – think “after-office garden party.” Light layers recommended as the lake breeze can be refreshing.

  
  

  Getting there:

  Buses 2, 6, and E stop at Rive, a 5-minute stroll. If you drive, the Quai Gustave-Ador public car park is directly opposite.

  
  

  RSVP deadline:

  Monday, 21 July 2025 – terrace space is limited, so early confirmation helps us secure the best spot.

  Why You Should Come

  Reconnect with a diverse, intellectually curious community who share your Oxbridge roots.

  Trade tips on Geneva life, summer travel, or the latest book that kept you awake until 3 a.m.

  Scout potential collaborators or mentors in a relaxed setting – no slide decks required.

  Simply unwind: few venues rival La Potinière when golden hour sets the lake ablaze.

  We would be thrilled to raise a glass with you on Thursday, 24 July. Kindly confirm your attendance by clicking the RSVP button in the email footer or replying to this message.

  Thank you, and see you by the water!

  Warm regards,

  The Oxford & Cambridge Geneva Committee

• 🏏 CERN Croquet Day 🏏

  • When
    10 Aug 2025
  •  
    10:30
  • Location
    CERN Prevessin

  Register

  The Club is pleased to confirm that the CERN Croquet Club will host us on its Prévessin lawns on Saturday 9 August 2025. Should the weather be unfavourable, the gathering will move to Sunday 10 August.

  The lawns are situated at CERN, Site de Prévessin. They are reachable by car via the D35 from Ferney-Voltaire towards Saint-Genis or, immediately after the border, via the route de Meyrin and then the C11 to the very end. Public transport is also available: bus 66 departs Geneva Airport at 09:43, takes about an hour, and leaves a seven-minute walk to the lawns.

  From 11:00 a welcome aperitif will be served; at about 13:30 the barbecue will be lit. Please bring your own food—utensils, plates, glasses and washing-up facilities are provided, and the day is family-friendly.

  Drinks at very reasonable prices will be on self-service from the club bar; kindly record your consumption and settle with Ian Gordon, or feel free to bring your own refreshments.

  For site access, Ian Gordon will lodge day passes with the CERN guards. To that end he must receive, by Wednesday 6 August, the name, nationality, passport number and vehicle registration of each attendee. It is better to register a few extra names than to risk anyone being turned away at 10:30 on the day, so please advise Ian of any change of plan.

  For any questions or further information, please contact Ian Gordon directly.

  We look forward to welcoming you for a day of relaxed competition and good company.
