Charlbury Community Centre can host a large variety of sports and wellbeing classes of all descriptions, including adult education and therapy courses. So far we have responded to local wishes on the sports offered, but we are keen to offer as large a range as possible and to include all age groups and abilities. The centre has full disabled access and facilities (such as showers and WCs) and can cater for everybody’s needs.
Team changing facilities and showers are available in the pavilion attached to the Community Centre – if you need these, you must specify this when you book.
Available to book now are:
We are always open to suggestions for new activities and would love to hear from you if you would like to run a class or training in any sport – please contact the manager to discuss: jenny@charlburycommunitycentre.org.uk

Do you enjoy a game of Scrabble? Would you like some new people to play with? We have an afternoon once a month where people can come and play.
The next session is on Tuesday 12th Nov 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.
Congratulations to Anna Cherry, who recently won gold medal in the English Open Pickleball championships in Nottingham, over 50s category - (though dare I say she could have been entered in a higher age group!) Anna said: "This win was only possible because [a] Charlbury Community Centre was built, [b] Vijay started the Pickleball sessions and [c] many people give their time to help run the centre!"
Like most of us she had never heard of Pickleball a couple of years ago, but it's a great game for people of all abilities and ages. If you fancy giving it a go, find out more here.
We are very proud of our champion!
There will be a series of 3 talks on Tuesdays 22 & 29th Oct and 5th Nov 2-4pm by Juliet Heslewood entitled "Gauguin - An Adventurous Life". Click here for more details. These talks were very popular last year. Don't miss them!
The gym now opens at 8.30am, rather than 9am on weekdays. The rest of the centre won't be open until 
9am. Remember also that on Wednesday mornings there is a class in the gym between 9 and10am, so it's best to avoid that time. Weekend opening remains 9am-1pm.
Thanks to our staff (espeically Jenny and Jason) for getting in extra early to do this - it takes quite a while to get the gym set up.
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.
The next monthly quiz night is on Wed 23rd October, set by Clive Gibson-Leitch. The café and bar open at 7.15pm for a prompt start at 7.45pm. Price £5 per player. More details here. Many thanks to Rob Hemingway for doing us an excellent quiz in September!
If you would like to volunteer to support our sporting activities, please contact the centre manager. We are always interested in new classes, training and courses.
