OUSA Conference 2012: 22-24 June 2012, Milton Keynes OUGS still remains affiliated to OUSA: we would therefore request that members of OUGS who are current OU students contact the OUGS Secretary to attend OUSA Conference 2012 as delegates on behalf of OUGS (we can send up to five delegates). Please see the May 2012 Newsletter for more details.

OUGS Library
It was decided at the last OUGS Committee meeting, and subsequently advised to those attending the AGM, that the OUGS Library would be disbanded.
Books are being offered to their reviewers first and the remainder will be offered to the membership either by post (you will need to pay the postage) or at Symposium.
From now on, any books which the Society receives for review will not need to be returned by the reviewer. As is usual practice, the reviewer may keep the book or pass it on (at no personal gain to themselves - i.e. no selling on eBay!) to say their Branch library if they do not wish to retain it.
Reviews will still appear in the Journal. |
Vacancies: For details of any OUGS Committee position please check the Job Descriptions in the Members Only section. You will need your membership number |
