Social activitieS

November & December 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 the time you are here. Please check in advance what you will be doing each day so you know where and when to meet and what to bring.

On your first day you may be shown some of the useful sites and MEETING PLACES around Oxford. The main meeting places are Caramba, Carfax Tower and St. Mary’s Church. Please remember where these are!

And finally…

It is very important that you carry your STUDENT CARD/DRIVING LICENSE OR I.D. AT ALL TIMES. Without it, you may not be able to take part in some social activities.

The weather and the programme may change. Keep checking the Social Activities Notice Boards!! More information about tours and activities is provided on the Activities board.

Important: All students under 18 must return to their host families by 22.30

Please book Saturday and Sunday excursions at least 3 days in advance as tours are very popular.

If you have any problems or questions, please see Verge, our social activities organiser.

We look forward to meeting you and hope you have fun at OEC!
