NOOC has a
strong community atmosphere.
We have a programme of
social events, which are held approximately once each fortnight
during term time. These usually take place on a Friday or
Saturday.
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.
