Welcome to the Oxford Branch.
Our meetings are usually held on the third Saturday of the month, from 2 to 4.45. Meetings are held at the West Oxford Community Centre in Botley. See the venue page for directions. All music is provided – please bring your recorders and a music stand.
Meetings are free to members and to first time visitors – so do come along and try us out.
Annual subscriptions are £50 for individuals, £75 for families and £20 if you are under 30 or a full-time student. If you join the Oxford branch you enjoy reciprocal membership with the North Cotswold branch. Non-members pay £5.50 per meeting after the first.
If you would like to join the branch you can complete a membership application online, or if you prefer you can download a membership application in Word or pdf, and also a gift aid form.
We welcome members and visitors of any age, including children and young people, in accordance with our safeguarding policy.
