Sunday Library Meetings (from 2nd Week, 14th October)
are held from 8pm till late in Univ
(map). We'll meet outside Univ at 8pm in case the gate is locked.
But if you come late, the OUSFG Library is in Staircase 8 Room 2 – in the far left corner of the main quad, one floor up.
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 over 2000 books.
Wednesday discussion and the 2nd Week film meeting are held at 8pm in Wadham's Old Seminar Room (unless stated otherwise on the termcard below). Wadham is here. The Old Seminar Room is at the top-right of this college map. We will be meeting at Wadham's main gate to find the room together, but if you come late, ask the porters or follow these directions:
From the main entrance to Wadham, go to Back Quad through the passage at the back right of the front quad. Go through the passageway to your left across the corner of back quad (the passageway with the war memorial), through the doors and then out of the door on the right. Go into the small courtyard to the left of the white round-ended building, then through the passageway on the left, and follow signs for the Old Seminar Room.Wednesday 4th, 6th, 8th Week film meetings will be held at 8pm in the Merton College Annexe at 7 Holywell Street, almost opposite to the New College main entrance (map). It is nowhere near Merton itself, so don't go there! Meet outside the wooden gates at 8pm to be let into the quad. The Music Room is in the basement of Block A.
Sign up for the ousfg-announce mailing list to receive a reminder and detailed directions for each meeting.
