On this page we wish to inform you of the aims and benefits of being a member of the Queen’s Own Oxfordshire Hussars Association (QOOHA).

Firstly, a link to where you can view all of the QOOHA Membership Purposes and Rules.

In brief, there are 3 main classes of membership :-

Full membership – for serving and ex-soldiers of a QOOH or OY unit
Associate Membership – with no previous service in a QOOH/OY unit
Honorary Membership – for selected persons who have been beneficial to the OY/QOOH

The affairs of the Association will be administered by a management committee of members numbering not more than eleven and not less than seven and they will include :-

Ex officio, the current Chairman of the Oxfordshire Yeomanry Trust (OYT).

An Annual Luncheon is held each year (normally in October) where members have the opportunity to meet and chat with their previous comrades-in-arms. The AGM is also held on the same day.

A montage of pictures from various Annual Luncheons can be seen below.

Members receive a quarterly newsletter – The Oxfordshire Hussar – either by email notification to a secure website, or as an attachment to an email or via the Royal Mail (the postal option is primarily for members who do not have access to the internet or email).
