Social Activities
JULY Activities 2009
…to the Oxford English Centre! Here is the Social Activities Programme we’ve organised for you during your stay in Oxford.
In this booklet you will find details of all the activities planned for you during the time you are here. There is an activity on most days in the afternoon and/or evening. Please check in advance what you will be doing each day so you know where and when to meet and what to bring (e.g. sports gear). Please see the attached sheet for details of Saturday excursions. Note that if you don’t have a pink student card, you need to book and pay for these excursions by Wednesday. On your first day you may be shown some of the useful sites and MEETING PLACES around Oxford. The main meeting places are outside Caramba Café (in school) and at Carfax Tower. Please remember where these are! SPORTS ACTIVITIES: please bring sports clothes and trainers.
And finally… It is very important that you carry your STUDENT CARD AT ALL TIMES. Without it, you may not be able to take part in some social activities. If you are 18 or over it is also very important that you carry ID (ID card /passport/driving license) if you want to drink alcohol or visit bars, pubs and clubs in the evening. The weather and the programme may change. Keep checking the Social Activities Notice Boards!! If you have any problems or questions, please see Verge our social activities organiser or call him on 077948093614
We look forward to meeting you and hope you have fun at OEC!
