First Oxford CSL Meeting

I just posted this on the Facebook page of the C. S. Lewis Society of Chattanooga:

A coaster from the Lamb and Flag. The pub is owned by St. John's College and proceeds from the pub go to college scholarships.
Hey, folks! Greetings from Oxford. We attended the first meeting of the Oxford C. S. Lewis Society last night. They meet weekly! The speaker was a prof. from Canada who spoke about Lewis, the Psalms, and the Bible. It was just a basic introduction to Lewis' book, Reflections on the Psalms.
The meeting next week sounds interesting. One of our scholars staying with us here at the Kilns will be speaking on The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe as "memoir."

After the meeting last night, some of us went over to the Lamb and Flag pub. It's across the street from the Eagle and Child, which was pretty busy. I've heard several different stories as to why the Inklings went to the Lamb and Flag. Some say that the Eagle and Child ran out of beer one day, and so they moved. Another person said it was because of a menu change. McGrath says in his new bio on Lewis that it was because the Eagle and Child had been sold to a new owner and the new owner was making renovations that spoiled the privacy the Inklings used to have at the Eagle and Child. The Lamb and Flag does have some cool spaces, I must admit.
