We welcome help from our members, and could not run the society without them. Approximately 130 members are involved in voluntary activities of The Arts Society Oxford, either at lectures or as committee members or as members of a sub group; they contribute their time, knowledge and skills, to help to make our society a success and to support a range of charitable activities. This high level of membership involvement in the running of The Arts Society Oxford is excellent for the Society.
