3. friendly eights

We've recently started an exercise known as 'friendly eights', so that you may get to know others in Oxford and Headington Meetings a bit better. Groups of eight people agree to meet together on eight occasions; more information is available here. Two groups have been formed, and a third is in the making. If you'd like to learn more, please contact Mark Ebden. Friends and Attenders of other Meetings who would like to regularly visit the neighbourhood are also welcome.
