Members may participate in all events and more generally join in the life of the association. Some events are reserved for members only. For others members benefit from a discount. But more generally, it's a social and possibly professional networking opportunity.
Joining the Paris Branch of the Oxford Society is a way of getting to know a fascinating variety of Oxonians from several generations and nationalities who, for one reason or another, have chosen France as their permanent or temporary home. It's a way of discovering events and activities that interest equally a British, French and international community.
The Society regularly organises:
- dinners with guest speakers (including the formal annual dinner)
- informal evenings at a pub (monthly)
- Sporting events (snooker, pétanque, golf, tennis... following the tastes of members)
- Cultural events (museum visits, concerts)
There are a number of events organised conjointly with the Cambridge Society.
Full members with a desire to express themselves in public are invited to become "authorised editorialists" on the Members' blog, which we have recently initiated. This is a space that allows us to broach any subject for discussion and commentary by members and non-members alike. Members may also use the blog for the publication of documents they wish to share.
The annual fee for all members is 40 €.
Special rates are available for members under 26.
