Oxford Social Events and Activities

Oxford, K2

**Welcome to Oxford Social Events & Activities!** This group will have a mixture of social events and activities throughout each year. We will look for events in Oxford that we believe suit the Meetup culture, as well as do additional activities, such as pub quizzes. There will also be a monthly evening social event, with each one taking part at a variety of pubs in Oxford. **Questions and answers** **Who is this group for?** There is no set criteria to who this group is for. We have a mixture of people who are new to Oxford, as well as people ready to start finding a new friend cycle. Anyone is welcome. **What can I expect from the organisers?** Apart from setting events up, we attend for the same reasons as you - to connect and make friends! Whilst we do our best to make everyone feel welcome, please remember we are not a business and are attending to take part in the event organised just as much as you are. **What's the goals of this group?** We want members to find like minded people and develop their own social lives. The Meetup events organised are your opportunity to do this. Additionally, we have a WhatsApp Community, which we aim to grow and give members the opportunity to organise additional activities themselves! **How much does attending cost?** Unless there are tickets required for a public event, we never charge members who attend. However, despite being a group that does not aim to make a profit, we cannot hide from the fact it costs the group £200 per year to run. Because of this, we will ask for donations to fund this. However, we do not make this mandatory and the amount you donate (if anything) is completely optional. **Can I join the WhatsApp Community?** Members who attend regularly are welcome to join the community, as long as they agree to the policies of the group. Please speak to Kevin if you are interested in joining. **Group Rules** These are the policies in place for the group: **1) Be respectful of others.** You are going to meet a diverse range of people, so there are bound to be individuals you don't click with. Rather than make an argument with them, just accept you are different. Additionally, do not harass members outside of events. This includes face-to-face and social media sites. **2) Make sure you correctly update your attending status.** Not knowing the correct number of attendees can have a negative impact on the event taking place. All it takes is a quick tap on your phone to update your status. **3) Do not turn up for events you have not signed up for.** This can potentially lead to difficulties in hosting an event. We don't want to find a member who shows up for pizza, but there is no space on the table! **4) Do not advertise your own activities in the group comments.** Whilst we are happy to see additional events, they must apply to the groups structure. If you want to advertise any of your events, contact Kevin. **5) Do not take control of events hosted.** The organisers already have a plan for the event they are hosting. To prevent any difficulties, respect what the organisers have set up for you. Members are welcome to organise additional activities once the event is over. **6) Appreciate what the organisers do.** Please remember we are not a business and that all the organisers in the group are hosting events on a voluntary basis. The events we host are for ourselves to enjoy as much as you. Anyone who does not apply to these rules is at risk of being removed from the group. © 2024 Oxford Social Events & Activities

Oxfordshire STARS Walks, Socials and Charitable Events

Oxford, K2

Oxfordshire STARS Walks, Social Nights, Trek Weekends and Charitable Events

Our aim is to contribute to health and well-being by providing walks, social nights, trek weekends and raising funds for cancer and other worthy charitable causes.

Our group is made up of a friendly bunch of individuals. Some who enjoy the great outdoors, some who enjoy socialising and others who like to support our charity work.

We like to bring people together in a fun and happy environment and a strong emphasis is put on being supportive, respectful and kind to one another.

WALKING

For those people who are not currently walking but who are considering improving their health and well-being walking is an ideal way to start.

Our walks are generally between 4 to 12 miles long with the majority of walks being in the 6-8 mile range. Our short and longer walks usually take place during the summer months.

We run Charity Trek weekends twice a year. Please check our calendar for more information or contact Nicky.

Please ensure you have a reasonable level of fitness before embarking on a walk.

Please also remember to bring your waterproofs, good walking boots or trek sandals, sun hats*, sun cream*, insect repellent*, water, snacks and cameras (*depending on the time of year).

To help cover the cost of this site we ask our walkers to contribute £2 per walk. Any surplus funds are used to support our charity fundraising expenses (e.g. photocopying, postage, stationery, laminates, raffle tickets, bingo books, prizes etc.).

SOCIAL EVENTS

Our Social and Charity Events provide a chance for people to make new friends while raising money for a worthy cause. Any donations of raffle prizes are always very welcome.

We currently organise social nights, quiz nights, bands, dinners and our annual New Years Eve Party.

Our two chosen charities for 2018 are Marie Curie Cancer Care and The Royal British Legion.
