After a short autumn pause, our Monthly Drinks resume! We are delighted to invite you to November’s gathering on Thursday, 5 November 2026, from 18:30 to 20:30, at the Lady Godiva English Pub, 53 Boulevard du Pont-d’Arve, 1205 Genève.
A Proper Pub for an Autumn Evening
As the evenings draw in and the lake breeze turns crisp, we trade the waterfront for the warmth of a traditional English pub. Just opposite Uni Mail, the Lady Godiva offers exactly what a November evening calls for: a pint in hand, a friendly crowd, and easy conversation. It is the perfect setting to reconnect after the summer, welcome our newest members, and trade Oxbridge stories over a well-pulled pint.
An Evening to Savour
To make the night a little more convivial, we invite each guest to contribute CHF 15, which will allow us to offer food throughout the evening. A small gesture, we hope, that adds to the pleasure of the occasion.
Practicalities
Dress code: Smart casual; think “after-office drinks.”
Getting there: The pub is directly opposite the main entrance of Uni Mail, served by the Uni-Mail tram stop.
We look forward to raising a glass with you.
Observe · Question · Unmask
The Oxford and Cambridge Club of Geneva invites you to a guided tour of Masques à démasquer, the new exhibition at the Musée Barbier-Mueller, followed by lunch together in the Old Town. The exhibition brings together 84 masks from Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania and the Americas, alongside contemporary works, to explore a universal question: why have human beings, everywhere and throughout history, felt the need to wear a mask?
Why Attend?
A Unique Perspective: Rather than grouping the works by origin or period, the exhibition sets them in dialogue with one another. A Baoulé mask from Côte d'Ivoire sits alongside a Noh theatre mask, a commedia dell'arte mask, an ice hockey helmet, a welder's mask and works by Romuald Hazoumè and Jean Tinguely.
A Visit That Turns You into an Investigator: During the exhibition's first month, some labels are deliberately swapped. Visitors are invited to look closely at forms, materials and expressions before relying on the text, rediscovering the pleasure of observation before knowledge.
An Intimate Setting: Nestled in the heart of the Old Town, the Musée Barbier-Mueller holds a remarkable collection of several thousand works spanning antiquity to the present day and every continent.
Event Details
When: Saturday, 7 November 2026 | Meeting at 11:50 Where: Musée Barbier-Mueller, Rue Jean-Calvin 10, 1204 Geneva Tour: Guided tour of approximately one hour, offering a unique insight into the role masks play in the human psyche Lunch: Followed by lunch at Restaurant Marcel, a short walk away in the Old Town Menu: Salad, Chicken Kiev, dessert, coffee or tea, and one glass of beer or wine

To keep the visit intimate, the museum limits each tour to 8 participants. We will therefore form two groups, one visiting in the morning and one in the afternoon. Both groups will meet for lunch at the Hôtel des Horlogers, a contemporary hotel overlooking the valley, a short walk (approximately 150 metres) from the museum.
