Oxford looks like a bit of a grave yard for clubs. Humm.

Unfortunately it seems that way, I know there are RC boats in Hinsky
Good flight stuff at BMW in Cowley (good show every year), Flight shop in St Clements, good rc toy shop in Kidlington (Howes).
You need a sympathetic venue, numbers every week to cover costs and a strong individual to run and set up the clubs and keep drivers informed. (who need to put in hours because they enjoy it)
The clubs mentioned do have that, Silverstone, Telstar, DMS, Surrey & Hants and TORCH are all over oOple. Stotfold have a good regular crew.
West Berkshire Raceway were running at a loss and are now looking for a cheaper venue or something - not easy.
There is a TC club in Newbury - also on Greenham Estate, across the road from West Berks. There is also Swindon for buggies.
But, based in Oxford you will have to travel a bit, all the clubs will be pleased to see you, and the tracks are good with good racing and top drivers, hope you can sort something.
As I said before - Oxford is in the middle of the Mid South area, a drive north or south....east or west....
