Lectures are presented fortnightly on a wide range of topics as you will see from the programme below. We meet in The Oxted United Reformed Church (OURC), Bluehouse Lane on Tuesdays at 8pm. Membership. There is a very modest annual membership subscription of £12. This entitles members to attend all lectures without further charge. New members are welcome to join at any lecture. Should you want to attend a lecture as a visitor, there is a charge of £3 which is payable on the day. If you would like to know more, please contact one of the people below. Committee 2008-2009 Patrick Alderton, Chairman. 9 Beatrice Road, Oxted, Surrey RH8 0PZ
The Society Library.
The library used to be in bookcase in the Red Cross Centre but there is nowhere for it in the new venue (OURC). At the moment most of it is stored in the Secretary’s
house, although the editor has some volumes and Keith Addis has back copies of History Today. In past years the librarians have put out a selection of books at each meeting. This might not be
possible in future, although it is hoped to be. Members do not use the library much but it is important for two reasons. Firstly, the society only has three 'activities'; lectures and parties, the
annual outing and the library. Secondly, the library includes the complete series of the Surrey Archaeological Collections from 1858 to the present, all 92 volumes. It would be a pity to lose one
of ODHS’s 'activities' and now that the Surrey County Library has sold off the volumes which were in Oxted, there is no collection here and no complete collection in Caterham. Volumes can always
be sent from the County Library,but for browsing among the very many entries for Tandridge District and other places and to refer to an index, it might be necessary to go to the Surrey History Centre in Woking. You can do an on-line search for information and see books which you can buy through association with Amazon at www.surreycc.gov.uk/libraries
