Oxford Meeting produces a monthly newsletter, called Forty-Three after our street address.
Electronic version
If you'd like to receive Forty-Three by annual email subscription, please let the Warden know (oxfordpm@yahoo.co.uk) or write to newsletter@oxfordquakers.org. A suggested donation of £4 would be welcome each January (or some fraction thereof to receive the remaining issues for 2010).
At present, the newsletter isn't available for download here; this idea has so far been discussed at two Meetings for Worship for Business (April and July 2009). If you have feedback about this, please get in touch.
Printed version
Our latest issue is available in hard copy for 40 pence at the Meeting House. Subscriptions running from each January to December can be requested from the Warden (£4 annually to a pigeonhole in the Meeting House, or £8 annually for it to be posted to your address). Back issues are available above the hearth in the Meeting House library.

Writing for the Newsletter
Contributions, preferably of 500 words or fewer, would be appreciated by email: newsletter@oxfordquakers.org. Paper copy can be left in the Forty-Three pigeonhole at the Meeting House. Each deadline is printed on the first page of the previous issue, but ordinarily it's the second-last Friday of the month. Submissions in need of substantial proofreading may not be published immediately; if it's important that this doesn't happen, please submit your article well before the deadline.
We encourage a range of composition, including but not limited to:
- details of forthcoming lectures, workshops, courses, exhibitions, plays, films, and retreats
- reviews of such events and of books and websites
- articles on work you're involved with in the wider world
- your take on spiritual and religious issues of the day
- poetry and art work
