Additional information

A member can introduce guest(s) for particular events. For events that have to be paid for (especially for the Annual Dinner), guests are sometimes asked to pay a slightly higher charge. It is important that the numbers/names of guests are made known to the organisers, so that the correct planning can be made in good time.

Any non-member alumnus/alumna who is on our mailing list can also usually attend events on the “guest” basis described above, if space permits, but again please register and let the organisers know in good time. If you want to attend more than one event, however, we strongly recommend joining the society instead, because this helps with forward planning by the committee.

Normally it is assumed that membership will continue from year to year, however in order to terminate membership, please inform the secretary. Please also let the secretary know if you leave the Netherlands. Email: secretary.ocnl@gmail.com

The Society maintains a data base of contact details for current members, former members, and other alumni who have asked to be on our mailing list. The data base is used within the committee and not distributed further. The secretary can, however, put people in contact with other alumni in their area, for example by forwarding an e-mail to a specific person or to a group of people in one city.

In addition, anyone who wishes to make their own existence known to other Oxbridge alumni in The Netherlands or take part in networking and discussions is recommended to join the following LinkedIn group:
