(as of March 29, 2008)

Information for prospective members:

We are always delighted to welcome new members to the Cambridge & Oxford Society, Tokyo. Candidates for ordinary membership are required:

(1) to have completed at least nine terms of residence at either Cambridge or Oxford University, and/or
(2) to hold a degree or diploma from either University.

Residence of not less than one academic year at one of the universities may also qualify a candidate for membership.

Candidates must be proposed and seconded by two members of the Society.

The main function of the Society is to provide opportunities for Cambridge and Oxford men and women living in Japan to meet socially. To this end, the Society organises meetings monthly throughout the year, except during the summer and New Year holiday periods. Members' guests are welcome at most of these events, although a very small number are limited to members only. Regular informal get-togethers (members only) also take place on the second Tuesday (6 - 8 p.m.) of each month except August at Bar Korin in Courtyard by Marriot Tokyo Ginza Hotel. Our annual golf tournament is usually held at Hodogaya Country Club in the spring, and another golf match is held elsewhere in the autumn. Additional events are arranged to mark visits to Tokyo by dignitaries from the two universities when they occur.

The Society’s Kansai Chapter operates its own programme on its own budget. The Kansai Chapter was re-inaugurated on 6th November, 1998 with a dinner at the Osaka Century Club.

If you wish to apply for membership of the Society, please complete an application form and return it by post to Mr Teruhisa Nakamura, Honorary Secretary, at the address included on the form. Please note that applications unsupported by two members in good standing will not be accepted. Prosepective members without proposers/seconders should contact Mr Nakamura (t.nakamura[at]camford[dot]org) for information on how to proceed with their applications.

No entrance fee is payable, but ordinary members are required, on election, to pay the annual subscription fee for the current year (3,000 yen at present).

The annual subscription is payable to Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Hibiya Branch (“Cambridge Oxford”, ordinary [futsu] account, A/C no. 4545324).
