📰Headlines this week

Here’s what’s been happening in Oxford…

Oxford lose both the men’s and women’s boat races

Oh dear, Saturday wasn’t much fun for the University of Oxford’s most well-known sports teams, as they lose both races to rivals Cambridge.

It sounded like a doubly difficult event for the teams, who were struggling with a sickness bug in the build-up to the event.

We don’t enjoy reporting on bad news, so we’ll keep it brief and let you find out all the details on the BBC Sport round-up.

Oxford surgeon performs life changing procedure for 4-year-old Senegalese boy aboard ship

The Oxford Mail reported an incredible story over the weekend of how Oxford-based surgeon, Dr Rachel Buckingham, treated a young boy with Rickets from aboard a hospital ship.

Dr Buckingham was working for the charity Mercy Ships, who have two ships in service, between them housing eleven operating rooms.

Abingdon’s rural full-fibre broadband provider, Gigaclear, hits two major landmarks

The Oxfordshire business was celebrating this week after serving 100,000 customers and reaching 500,000 homes and businesses.

☂Weather

Spring… is it here yet?

It’ll still be on the chilly side of things this week. Keep a jacket on and don’t get caught out in the showers on Wednesday and Thursday.

Fingers crossed we see a dry spell soon, although looking at the two-week forecast it isn’t looking good.

Remember, weather on our little island changes regularly - hit the link above for the most up to date forecast from the Met Office.
