See you at Cowley Road Carnival!
WDM’s June meeting was a chance to plan the details of our appearance at summer events. We’ve confirmed that we will definitely have a stall at the Cowley Road Carnival on 7th July. We may also be at the Elder Stubbs festival on 17th August.
We also confirmed that our August meeting (on Tuesday 13th August) will be a summer social, with non-members welcome as ever. The details of this will be sorted out over the next few weeks, and we’ll pop them up on the website as soon as everything is confirmed.
If you see our WDM T-shirts at an Oxfordshire event this summer, please do come and say hello!
July meeting – all welcome
As ever, we’ll be spending the meeting discussing upcoming events and campaigns. You don’t have to be a member of Oxford WDM to join us – interested members of the public are welcome too. Just come along to Oxford Town Hall on Tuesday 9th July at 7:30pm.
Committee changes – and thanks to Chris
The May meeting was the Oxford group’s Annual General Meeting, which meant it was time to elect the new committee for 2013-2014.
We said a big thank-you and goodbye to Chris Manley, who stepped down as secretary after several years’ excellent work. We’re hoping he will continue to be involved with the group.
Mike Dee offered to become the new secretary and was elected unopposed (with warm thanks from the group for volunteering). He will now be the main point of contact for the group at oxfordwdm@gmail.com.
Other committee members were re-elected to their posts for another year. The new committee is as follows:
Chair: Sam Partington
Secretary: Mike Dee
Treasurer: Tina Everett
Communications Officer: Kate Griffin
Writer/editor of the Oxspur newsletter: Andrew Hodgson
Some tasks still don’t have a regular person allotted to them, such as:
- formatting the Oxspur newsletter (a Word doc)
- organising of event rotas
We will also be looking for a new treasurer soon. If you’re interested in helping the group, in however small a way, please do get in touch on oxfordwdm@gmail.com.
June meeting – all welcome
Why not come along to our June meeting and join us in planning our summer of activities?
Time: 7:30pm
Venue: Oxford Town Hall
