Thanks for the replies, This appears to be a standard policy of the council for all council grounds in oxford. I believe that the 'standard' sports (football, cricket) have a general insurance which covers this bill which they hold as a standard policy for the season. Unfortunately we're limited in oxford with most grounds being held by territorial university college groundsmen, who are reluctant to allow their life's work on maintaining the ground go for a event external to their college. Which doesn't leave much apart from the council grounds.
I'd be suprised to hear that this was something that only oxford city council did. Unfortunately this issue has come up to late in the day to move the event!!
