{{accu:accuoxford_with_site_backgrd.png?200|ACCU Oxford}} The Oxford postcode area has more ACCU members than any other single postcode area. It seemed a pity to me that there was no local group, so a select group met for the inaugural meeting on 25/6/08. Meetings are held on Wednesdays, usually (but not exclusively) the last Wednesday of the month. Meeting start at 8pm and run until 9:30pm. After which we usually adjourn for a drink and post-meeting discussion. ===== Mailing list ===== ACCU Oxford now has its own mailing list. Subscribe via [[http://accu.org/mailman/listinfo/accu-oxford|the web page]]. To post to the list, email ''accu-oxford@accu.org''. To keep spam volumes down, posts from non-members will be held for moderation. The list is intended to be low volume, primarily for meeting announcements and other administrivia. ===== Forthcoming meetings ===== For details and to signup see [[http://www.meetup.com/ACCU-Oxford/|MeetUp]]. ===== Past meetings ===== 29/01/19.
