The café area alongside the library is a great place for friends to meet and for people to work. TG’s café is run by Community Centre staff and volunteers and is open from 9am-6pm Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 9am-7pm on Wednesday and Friday and 9am-4.30pm at weekends and Bank Holidays, serving hot and cold drinks and snacks.
The longer hours and new offerings are in response to customer requests. There are board games and puzzles available if you want to use this space to meet and socialise in that way.
Please note that food can be made to order, so if you need large amounts, or want something specific, please call in or ring 01608 811878 at least a day in advance.
Aimed at retired people, but everyone is welcome. Please come along for a drink and a chat with others. Board games are available and we can organise an impromptu quiz if enough people there want one. Special price for hot drinks (£1 for a tea or coffee).
Tea selection from Organic Pukka Teas includes: Three Mint, Three Ginger, Chamomile Vanilla and Manuka Honey, Love, Spiced Chai as well as Rooibos, Green tea and Earl Grey. Decaf coffee, soya & skimmed milk are available. All our teas, coffees and hot chocolate are Fairtrade.
Tap water is freely available – please use the drinking fountain near the counter to refill bottles or take a drink.
Do you enjoy a game of Scrabble? Would you like some new people to play with? We are experimenting with having some Scrabble afternoons and if it proves popular we will offer these regularly.
The next session is on Tuesday 18th June 2.30-5pm. Cost only £2.
In the meantime there are two Scrabble sets at the Centre, which you can use at any time for a game with friends.
Many thanks to Nicola Morgan for keeping our grounds and beds looking lovely!
We are very grateful to Larcum's - the gifts, cards and statonery shop on Market Street for generously donating an ice-cream fridge. With recent warm weather it's already proving popular!
We are very grateful to Charlbury Town Council for their grant towards the maintenance of the Playing Close as well as free activities at the centre (such as coffee club, film club, youth club and Well Baby Clinic).
We'd love to reunite you with your possessions!
Most items will be kept for 14 days. Valuables such as watches, jewellery and expensive sports equipment will be kept for 28 days.
Each Wednesday between 1 - 5pm unclaimed items will be displayed in the centre and can be purchased for a nominal amount. After this, they will be given to charity.
There will be no quiz night in June because there is so much going on in Charlbury in June and attendance is lower in the summer. Our next quiz night will be Wed 24th July, set by Gordon Cutting. The café and bar open at 7.15pm for a prompt start at 7.45pm. Priced only £5 per player. More details here.
A big thank you to Bill Stevenson for hosting our May quiz.
