The Oxford and Cambridge Club Beijing will hold its Annual General Meeting on Monday 15th June at the Local, in Sanlitun (where the Boat Race event was held), combined with a social event. Drinks and food are available at the Local.

Please come along and attend and, even better, get involved with next year’s committee! All posts are open, and it is up to you what direction the club takes and what events are put on. We are keen to attract new blood and people who would like to contribute to the OCCB.

Pre-registration, in order to vote, is essential; only those who have held an academic research or teaching post, and graduates/alumni of Oxford or Cambridge Universities, are eligible to vote. However, you are welcome to turn up and attend, listen to the candidates for office, and enjoy the event, whether or not you are an alumnus.

We will be voting for next year’s officers – President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Committee members, and hearing a very short report of the past year’s events and the Club’s finances. After that we will socialise in the usual OCCB manner!
