We meet at 2pm on the first and third Tuesdays every month except August at the Headington Community Centre at 39 Gladstone Road, Headington OX3 8LL.

The Community Centre is a short walk along Gladstone Road from the Gladstone Road bus stop in nearby London Road.

New members are always welcome as are visitors who pay £3.50 per meeting.

After the talks there is free tea, coffee and biscuits with time to socialise.

Forthcoming events are listed below in 'Dates for your Diary'.

In summer, usually in June there is also an enjoyable SUMMER OUTING by coach.

Other events include those held by Interest Groups, the monthly Sunday Lunch Club, and every few months a sociable tea at Jacobs and Field. Note that there is a seperate fee for the special interest groups.
