Oxford GA Branch Lectures - Autumn Term 2021

GA Branch activity was restricted during the last 18 months. Some branches had a programme of online events, others relied more on face to face events, which were not possible.
Keep an eye out for renewed activity in your local branch as meetings become possible again, and see whether you can help out in some way - perhaps by attending a meeting, joining as a member if you are not already a GA member, joining the committee, or perhaps offering to present something relevant and helpful.
