Sunday Library Meetings would usually be held from 8pm until late (normally around midnight) in the OUSFG library. These evenings are an opportunity to socialise, and chat about life, the universe and everything, whilst also perusing and borrowing from OUSFG's library of around 600 books. Unfortunately, this term is proving tricky to organise library meetings every Sunday, but we will endeavour to hold one or two Sunday meetings with the actual books.
Wednesday discussion are held at 8pm in one of the Pembroke College (map) or Somerville College (map) meeting rooms. See below for details.
