Every Sunday: Library Meetings (and AGM in 7th Week) from 8:30pm in Sebastian's room, Martin Building, Holywell Manor, Room 10.
The Martin building is part of the Holywell Manor grad complex for Balliol. It's on St Cross Rd opposite Holywell Manor itself which is on the corner of St Cross and Manor Roads (the road that leads to St Catz). Sebastian's number is 281364. There is a doorbell out the front but it rings throughout the whole building. If you are unsure either give a ring on approach or just drop into the Manor itself and ask one of the friendly porters and they will call for you.
Wednesday discussion meetings and speaker meeting (see below for topics) are held at 8pm in Jesus College in Seminar Room A. From the entrance to Jesus, go straight across first quad, through an archway into second quad and turn right. Go through another archway and turn left. Staircase XVIII is the modern block straight ahead. Go up the steps and through the door.
Wednesday video meetings (see below for programme) start at 8pm in the Mac Building JCR in Pembroke College (map), which is on the road off St Aldates, opposite the Christ Church front door. Go down to the end, to the large wooden doors on your left (kind of in a corner) where, if you are on time, Mark will be waiting to let you in. If you get in on your own, go through the main entrance into a quad, and go through the passageway to your right, into another quad. Follow the path around past the building on the right, go through an archway, between some more buildings (a toilet block and staircase 8) and into a third quad with houses on the far side. Turn left and walk all the way down to the large black gates. Walk up the steps to your right, around the corner and there's the door to the building you want. This will be locked, so knock on the window to your left as you reach the top of the steps for someone to come and let you in.
