GBD rumors spark discussion about drone use in Oxford

In the weeks leading up to Green Beer Day (GBD), students reserved their tables at Uptown bars and decorated with green shamrocks. They also prepared hats, masks and sunglasses to hide their faces from police body cameras and, possibly, drones, as rumors spread throughout the city. 


Despite many students reporting seeing large parties on Green Beer Day, just one mass gathering citation was issued.

Despite this low number of citations in comparison to years past, students reported both seeing and attending large gatherings with more than 60 people in attendance.
