- Comment: Probably needs one more source for me to be 100% confident about accepting this, but I would accept this. However, I would move this to Thames Valley Cavaliers and don't know how to delete a redirect (is this an admin feature?) so saving for someone else. (Also if you could post on my talk page what you did, I would be very appreciative.) SportingFlyer T·C 18:27, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
