NOOC has a strong community
atmosphere. We have a
programme of social events, which are held approximately once each
fortnight during term time.
Past events have included
international meals, coffee and cake evenings, a walk in the
Cotswolds, punting, film nights, a summer barbecue and an annual
table tennis competition.
New residents coming from
overseas may like to bring slides, videos, music, national dress or
anything else from your country as there may be opportunity to share
these with the rest of the NOOC community at one of the social
events.
