The OxVox AGM is being held tomorrow at 13:00 in the Landmark Room. We hope as many OxVox members attend as possible and if you are not a member but would like to attend you can join on the door.
We will be running through our activities over the last year and also be introducing new committee members as well as addressing who will be taking over as Chairman from Trevor.
This is an exciting time for the Trust and we look forward to seeing many of you tomorrow.

The days of committee members banding around their sausages are over I'm afraid due to the current economic climate. But tea and coffee will be available.

Maybe when the new people are elected you'd consider moving the meetings to the priory, or other like minded fan establishments!

As you are now aware I have accepted the position of chairman. I'd like to thank the departing committee members for all their efforts.
This is an exciting time for the trust and my main aims are to try and improve the image of the trust, attract more members, and ensure that we are in touch with our membership so we are aware of their views and concerns. We also hope to build on the good relationship that we already have with the club, a point that club stressed themselves in their official statement.
I am delighted that Terry Winter and Matthew Cavill have joined the committee and I am sure they will be huge assets. The average age of the committee is now 35 so we can't be accused anymore of being an elitist club consisting of older fans!
Currently we are looking for up to 3 more committee members and we have already had a couple of applications. So if you would like to join the committee please email us through our website oxvox.org.uk or pm me. The nomination period closes in 14 days time (full details on our website).
Over the next few months you will see a lot more of oxvox we will be aiming to explain to people what we do and what the benefits are Of joining. One of those benefits is having access at our members meetings to senior members of the club. In the past Kelvin Thomas has done a Q&A with members and on 23 April before the Chesterfield game members will have a Q&A with OUFC director Jim Rosenthal.
So if you're not an oxvox member now is a great time to join and it's only £5 for an adult for a year or £15 for 3 years. You can sign up via our website.

We are keen to be as diverse as possible and although we have done some small membership drives in the Priory, we will no doubt look to explore holding a meeting or similar, subject to the fine landlords approval. We have three vacancies available too Junior.

Yes we are definitely looking at trying to get out and about. The next meeting is planned for before the chesterfield game and it will feature a Q&A with Jim Rosenthal. We will aim to have a bit of presence at the Priory on Sunday so people can come up and tell us anything they would like us to focus on over the next year.
