There is a wealth of museums and historic buildings to be seen in Oxford. Thursday morning is free time when you may choose which to visit. Members of the AGCA will be coming to Oxford that day and you may wish to meet up with someone from the group and decide your own programme.

BGS members and those members of AGCA who wish to come will meet at 1:45 at the Christ Church College entrance in St. Aldates for the tour ALICE IN OXFORD. Charles Dodgson was a Christ Church fellow and mathematics tutor but he is best known as Lewis Carroll, author of 'Alice in Wonderland'. His stories were inspired by the 10 year old daughter of the college's head, Alice Liddell. This tour centres on Christ Church and is a wonderful opportunity to explore the places known to Alice. Tour will last about two hours. |
Evening

Be free time to relax and enjoy Oxford.
As AGCA members will be in Oxford, arrangements have been made to have dinner with them at the Quod Restaurant in the High Street about 6:30. This is housed in a Georgian banking hall which is very close to Christ Church College. This meal is not included in the programme and is paid for individually. |
