...A note on the Facility Fee
The Facility Fee goes toward the upkeep of our beautiful Grade II* listed buildings and is vital for the continuation of the Society.
All members who reside at an Oxford postcode for the duration of the University of Oxford terms or longer per calendar year are required to pay an annual Facility Fee as a condition of their membership. This is currently £13 per year and increases annually on 1 July, in line with that year's April CPIH percentage.
The fee is set as defined in the Society's rules (rule 4 & standing order 9). The first payment of this fee is rolled into membership signup, and will be taken annually on the date of joining. The onus is on the Member to cancel their payment once they move away. Members are, of course, welcome to keep paying their fee beyond their time in Oxford.
For further details, please refer to our Terms and Conditions. Should you have any further queries around payment or cancellation, please email our Membership Secretary.
