We have regular informal gatherings to allow Oxford and Cambridge alumni to meet others living in their area for conversation, drinks, dinner, whatever is desired. Anyone with an Oxford or Cambridge connection is welcome, no matter whether an expatriate working here or a Dutch former Oxbridge student. If you wish, you can contact someone on the committee to find out more about the plans or the locations, but otherwise feel free just to turn up.
Attendance of these informal drinks does not require membership, hence, they are a great way of starting out connecting with alumni and get a feel for the vibe of the society. Feel free to bring friends or family along!
Our Instagram also announces monthly drinks as they happen, so make sure to follow us.
