Many of these trips give the Newcomer a chance to visit places not normally open to visitors. This group journeys by private cars to nearby towns to visit antiques shops and finishes with a friendly pub lunch. The children enjoy playing with the toys while their parents have a coffee and a chat. Parents are responsible for their children at all times. On Thursday afternoons a Conversation Group is held for Newcomers wishing to improve their English in a relaxed environment.
Materials are available for a small fee.
Do bring your craft projects. This group journeys out to the countryside and walks of no more than 8 miles, ending up refreshing themselves with lunch in a country pub. Every third Wednesday a Book Group is held when members discuss a particular book - very enjoyable evenings. The group meets about three times a term to share an interest in gardens, sometimes visiting gardens on show in and around Oxford. This is a new group for Newcomers interested in seeing and discussing films shown at the cinema.
