TIME AND PLACE
Meetings are currently held on the first Friday of each month in the North Oxford Association Community Centre in Summertown. Our format is to decide on a general historical theme at the beginning of the year, and members will then be invited to select a specific relevant topic related to the theme for presentation and discussion. This year we have been discussing ‘Islands’, and have so far talked about The Falklands, St. Helena, Heligoland, New Guinea, Christmas Island and the Pacific Islands, most of which have been lived in or visited by the presenters. Other themes in the past have included events from Oxford’s past, the history of lesser-known countries and an aspect of a particular century. New members are welcome.
