CLOTS is the Constructive Oxford Loonery Society. I am its Sub-Deputy Assistant President (Collegium Novum), Commander of Internal Security Forces, and Oracle-Priestess of the New College Ziggurat (when in appropriate robes, of course). I think I received a decoration from His Grace Duke Simpkin at some point, but I can't remember what.
We have a website - Google should find us.
We're basically a bunch of very silly people, in a society whose purpose is loonery, pure and simple; the society has undertaken various projects over the last year or so (but don't believe the termcards). The silliest was probably borrowing a bathtub from the back of a Comet store (where the Deputy President and official Mollycoddler of Cats worked) and carrying it all the way across town in order then to store it and ready it for sailing down the Isis on May Morning. Part B of the plan never came off, because too many people needed their sleep, but I will never be able to forget the transportation of the bathtub through far too much of the centre of Oxford at dead of night.
Some of our leading lights have recently left town, so the heyday of CLOTS may have ended. We'll have to see.
