About us
Welcome to the Oxford Social Circle 🥳
We're a group focused on bringing people together in Oxford. We primarily host Saturday afternoon events most weeks throughout the year, with the Meet & Greet Social and Social Walk & Drinks being our main recurring events.
Who's it for? 🤷♀️
Anyone looking to make friends in Oxford is welcome! Whether you're new to the city or just looking to expand your social circle, you'll find a warm welcome here.
What can you expect from us? 🤔
We're here to connect and make friends just like you. We often organise main events and activities on a weekly basis. Any additional activities will be organised in the group OSC+, a group that is limited to regular and reliable attendees only.
What do we expect from you? 🤝
To ensure our events remain enjoyable and well-organised for everyone, we ask that all members treat one another with mutual respect and kindness. Our weekly gatherings are vibrant and diverse, typically hosting between 20 and 40 attendees from all walks of life.
Why do you host social events? 💪🏻
We host social events to provide an opportunity for those in Oxfordshire who haven't yet found their community. We host events to help you meet like-minded people and build your own social networks.
How much does it cost to attend an event? 💰
All events in the Oxford Social Circle are free to attend. However, running the group does have annual costs, so we appreciate donations to cover these expenses when they are required. It's entirely optional, but your contributions are needed in order to keep the group running smoothly.
Can I join the WhatsApp Community? 📳
Members are welcome to join the WhatsApp community, providing they have attended at least one event in this group. A link to this will be shared in the comments at the end of each event. Any groups in the community are limited to regular attendees only.
How can I be approved to join OSC+? 📜
To join OSC+, you must be an active member who is regularly involved in the Oxford Social Circle. Because some of our events will require upfront deposits or ticket bookings, we look for reliable members who are committed to keeping their attendance status up to date. By joining, you also agree to take full responsibility for any financial costs incurred if you need to withdraw at the last minute, ensuring the costs don't come out of the organisers wallet.
Group Rules 📝
These are the policies in place for the group:
1) Be respectful of others 🙏🏼
You'll encounter diverse individuals, some of whom you may not connect with immediately. Instead of arguing, acknowledge your differences. Refrain from harassing members, whether in person or on social media, outside of events.
2) Appreciate what the organisers do ❤️
Please remember we are not a business and that all the organisers in the group are hosting events on a voluntary basis. The events we host are for ourselves to enjoy as much as you do.
3) Have a valid photo of yourself in your profile 🤳🏾
There have been multiple occasions where members have received inappropriate messages, all from members without photos. To help prevent this from happening, we ask all members to provide a photo of themselves in their profile at all times.
4) Update your attending status correctly ✅
Not knowing the correct number of attendees can negatively impact the event. Excessive absences and/or gatecrashing events, without valid reasons, will lead to removal from the group.
5) Do not take control of events hosted 🤐
The organisers already have a plan for the event they are hosting. To prevent any difficulties, respect what the organisers have set up for you. Members are welcome to organise additional activities once the event is over.
6) Do not advertise your own activities in the group without permission 🙅🏻
Whilst we are happy to see additional events, they must apply to the group's structure. If you want to advertise any of your events, contact Kevin.
