Your hosts for the evening
Katie
I’m Katie, Canadian-Brit, and I work as an English tutor, editor and blogger in Oxford.
I’m a language enthusiast and love to read nonfiction so I’m always learning about new ideas and fields of study. After years of reading and teaching English literature, I’ve recently rediscovered contemporary fiction, and I’m loving that too.
We hold the Oxford RBC meetings at my husband’s pub, which is handy as we live above it with our husky, Maple.
Phil
Hi, I'm Phil and I co-host the RBC Oxford meetups with Katie. I've been with RBC for over three years now and love exploring the different theme each month.
As well as reading I enjoy running and swimming but music is my main passion. The Oxford group is welcoming and the discussions are always engaging.
