The Trinity/Worcester dispute
There were already four Commem balls in operation in 1999 at least, and almost certainly in 1996.
As a Trinity man, I remember the issue being discussed before the 1999 ball (implying that it was already an issue then). I also have a very vague recollection of being told that Trinity had shifted a year "out" from its original position at one point (perhaps the 1950s), and that Magdalen or New was actually the "interloper".
Even more vaguely, I think the old College history (precursor to Claire Hopkins' book, perhaps from the '60s or '70s) may say something about this. AJN 17:33, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
