The Oxford Irish Society is run by a volunteer committee, who aim to keep alive the music, sport, social and other cultural activities for the Irish community in Oxford and surrounding area.
The committee meet on the first Tuesday of each month in the Gladiators Club, Iffley Road, Oxford. New members always welcome.
Regular events include a St Patrick's Day dance and an annual Dinner and Dance in November. There are also occasional dances and other activities.
There is an active over 50's club, the recently renamed Cara Group, who meet on the first Friday of each month in the Headington Conservative Club, Windmill Road. They also meet for lunch or coffee every third Monday in Weatherspoons, Cowley, and have two special lunches each year. All welcome.
