Sunday Library Meetings (and AGM)
from 8:30 to 11.30pm are this term in Balliol,
staircase XXII.
They are on alternate weeks in Louise's room (number 32)
and Eleanor's room (number 18).
To find staircase XXII,
go in through the main entrance of Balliol, and across to the archway in
the far left corner of the front quad. Go through the arch, then turn 90
degrees to the right and go across the back quad until you get to the
steps leading up to the hall. Turn left (in a 10 o'clock direction) to
go underneath the ugly bridge made of concrete. Under the bridge on the
right is the door to staircase XXII.
The door combination was sent in an e-mail
to ousfg-announce
,
but if you didn't get it, e-mail Mark.
Wednesday discussion and author meetings (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 in St John's College (on St Giles; see map) JCR video room.
