Sunday Library Meetings
are held from 8pm till late in 17 Merton Street, room 4,
from 8pm until late (normally around midnight).
If you arrive later, you will need to ring the buzzer, and it may take a minute
for someone to come downstairs and let you in.
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 1000 books.
Wednesday discussion meetings are held at 8pm in Wadham's New Seminar Room B. This is on staircase 5 at the centre-right of the main quad (college map). We will be meeting at Wadham's main gate to find the room together.
Wednesday film meetings will be held at 8pm in Worcester College's Lecture Room B. This is on Staircase 5, on the right side of the main quad and down the stairs, but we'll meet outside to get into the college together.
Sign up for the ousfg-announce mailing list to receive a reminder and details for each meeting.

hopefully introduce the society to hidden gems that we have not heard of. |

Colaborative story-writing. The first time we tried this there were tentacular Vikings and the space-time continuum was
never quite the same again. This time is may not be quite as prosaic. If you couldn't make any meetings earlier in the term, this is another good opportunity to come and meet us. |
