  Haddenham United FC   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The trip to Garsington unfortunately demonstrated all that is bad about poor refereeing and local sides going out with the sole intention of kicking opponents off the field of play.
Coupled with a totally inept (Garsington based ref) and the most biased linesman on this planet, we were constantly denied goal scoring opportunities with the incessant flagging of the home sides linesman.
Eventually two Garsington players were dismissed after continuous bad fouls and unfortunately Haddenham's Phil Heggie got himself sent off for retaliation after being verbally and physically manhandled, the eventual score being 0-0.

 Garsington Opera
Garsington Manor is one of those charmed places that never seem to be crowded - even when close to 600 people are roaming its grounds - and which always contrive to look beautiful even in the dullest weather (an asset of particular value in rain-plagued Oxfordshire).
Audiences at Garsington this year will see the first ever UK performance of Rossini's La Gazetta, a comic masterpiece all but forgotten since its premiere in 1816, as well as being given a rare chance to see Richard Strauss's 1923 Intermezzo.
Accompanying all performances is Garsington Opera's exemplary orchestra, which plays with the sonorous yet delicate precision one would expect from an ensemble which incorporates the renowned Guildhall Strings.

 Guardian | Opera will go on without founder
Leonard Ingrams, 63, an international financier and music lover who set up Garsington Opera in the grounds of his Oxfordshire manor house in 1989, died of a heart attack last week as he drove home from a performance of Verdi's Otello at Glyndebourne.
English Touring Opera staged a performance of Figaro there, and this led to the annual season, with an audience of 500 sitting in the open, protected from the elements by a tarpaulin roof.
He decided on the operas and, having taken a lot of advice on what would be good to do, suggested singers and had the final veto on casting.

 Haddenham United FC
Garsington went in front after 30 minutes when a direct free kick was blocked by the Haddenham wall, but a Garsington forward was able to latch on to the loose ball the quickest, and was presented with an easy finish past Haddenham 'keeper Stuart Higgs.
A poor kick from the Garsington 'keeper went straight to Alex Jewell in the Haddenham midfield, and with the Garsington 'keeper off his line, Jewell controlled the ball and lobbed the 'keeper from some 40 yards.
The defeat was Garsington's first league defeat of the season, with Haddenham putting in a fine performance to end the league leader's unbeaten run.

In 1982, he and his wife bought the manor house at Garsington, Oxfordshire, once the home of Philip and Lady Ottiline Morrell, and a favourite place of the Bloomsbury Group.
Despite complaints about chilly evenings (partly overcome by the installation of underfloor heating), most visitors were enchanted by the combination of music, garden and the impromptu feeling of the enterprise.
Recently Garsington has moved towards the Slavonic repertory, with the British premieres of Janacek's Sarka and Tchaikovsky's Cherevichki.

Set in the beautiful garden of his Jacobean country house, Garsington Manor near Oxford, not even the 13th season could bring it bad luck.
As Garsington Opera is an open-air event using the loggia and the terrace of the Manor House as a natural stage, there is no curtain; scene changes have to be kept to a minimum, while the whole opera has to cope with a single basic design.
His sensitivity for the balance between the parlando of the plot and the symphonic-programmatic character of the interludes, with all their witty quotations, proved to be an important contribution to this Garsington success story.

 Roderic Dunnett visits Garsington Opera for a feast of Mozart, Rossini and rare Janácek
Garsington Opera has its base in the Jacobean home, outside Oxford, of Leonard Ingrams.
Early on Garsington made its name with a series of rare Haydn; latterly with Schumann (Genoveva), Strauss (Daphne, Die Liebe der Danae, Intermezzo) and now, Janácek.
Lie's urbane Strauss lookalike in last year's Intermezzo was unforgettable, but his Giovanni seemed more likely to whisk a wench round to his family pile for a chamber music soiree than for a sexual romp.

To help you to visualise it: an array of four-poster beds, with hot-blooded young crusaders' wives hunched like Lysistrata and her coterie in reluctant self-imposed purdah, sex oozing from every pore, watched over by a mother- superior figure (Anne-Marie Owens in rich voice, conjuring up memories of Berlioz's Cassandre).
Garsington's male and female choruses - Rossini works in loads of them - were simply stupendous: punchy, witty and impeccably rehearsed.
Even lesser roles were finely cast: the lively Croatian Miljenko Turk dished up a bumper second- half aria ("Dans ce lieu solitaire") as the count's cheery chum Raimbaud; the Australian bass Dean Robinson brought fine resonance to the tutor assigned to counter - and later to abet - Ory's rascally ruses.

I am, at the same time, deeply sad at the reason for my appointment and delighted to be joining Garsington which, under Leonard Ingrams’ passionate leadership, has established a reputation for musical excellence, the presentation of some fascinating operatic rarities and the promotion of young singers.

 Telegraph | Arts | Scaled-down Strauss hits the spot
Strauss's Arabella, which can seem so trivial and prolix in a large opera house, takes well to being scaled down for the intimate environment of Garsington.
I wonder about designer-director David Fielding's wisdom in updating the piece from the 1860s to the 1920s - the change makes the Waldners' cold-blooded attitude to arranging a marriage for their daughter Arabella that much less plausible - but his fl-and-white Art Deco sets are stunning, and his staging tells the story clearly and affectionately.
But the chorus is lively, and even for a confirmed Rossini sceptic like myself, this is jolly good fun - the perfect confection for a summer festival.

This letter was written on Garsington Manor stationery where Strachey was a guest along with the “amusing and sufficiently mysterious” Katherine Mansfield.
According to Strachey, Mansfield “has an ugly impassive mask of a face—cut in wood, with brown hair and brown eyes very far apart; and a sharp and slightly vulgarly-fanciful intellect sitting behind it.” Apparently, Mansfield spoke with enthusiasm about the Voyage Out to Strachey.
There were 16 souls here for the week-end that’s just over: from Friday onwards the door seemed to open every two hours and new arrivals appeared in batches of five or seven.
