OUSFG Hilary Termcard 2004

Every Sunday: Library Meetings from 8:30pm in Sebastian's room, Martin Building, Holywell Manor, Room 10.

The Martin building is part of the Holywell Manor grad complex for Balliol. It's on St Cross Rd opposite Holywell Manor itself which is on the corner of St Cross and Manor Roads (the road that leads to St Catz). Sebastian's number is 281364. There is a doorbell out the front but it rings throughout the whole building. If you are unsure either give a ring on approach or just drop into the Manor itself and ask one of the friendly porters and they will call for you.

Sunday of 3rd Week (1st February) will be bonus videos, The Lord of the Rings (see below), instead of the library meeting. These will start at 3pm in Angharad's house: 11 Goodson Walk, Marston, Oxford, OX3 0HX. It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk from the science area.

Directions from town: Take the cycle path from the end of S Parks Rd next to Linacre. Follow the path until you meet the second road then turn right onto it and then immediately left into Purcell Rd (effectively straight on from the cycle path but much less muddy than the track on the left!). Go along Purcell Rd, past Hugh Allen Crescent, until a cul-de-sac where there is a little path. Go along the path and you are on Goodson Walk, turn right and follow the path around to the end and no. 11.

Directions from Cowley Area: Go along St Clements and take MArston Rd at the Plasterers Arms. Go up Marston rd and turn left into Nicholson Rd next to a speed camera. Take the first right (into I think Weldon Rd) and then follow the road around to the left and all the way to the end. There is a little cut through here onto a path which is Goodson Walk, turn right and my house is at the end.

Wednesday discussion 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 the Latner Room in St Peter's College.
