A volleyball session takes place in the sports hall on Wednesday evenings from 8-10pm run by experienced coaches Steven Fairhurst Jones and Felicity Brooks. Whether you’ve never played before and want to give it a go, or you haven’t played since you were at school or on holiday, this session gives you the opportunity to come and play one of the most popular sports in the world. Men and women of all abilities are welcome to this friendly, relaxed session, and the focus will be on helping everyone to join in, learn and and enjoy the game. Your first session is free!
Please contact Steven if you are interested on 07879 063 934, or email: stevenfairhurstjones@gmail.com
Witney Netball club runs sessions on Tuesday evenings from 7-9pm. We have players of all abilities and always welcome new members. The first training session is free of charge so why not come along and give it a try? Contact: witneynetball@hotmail.co.uk for further information.
There is a junior session on Thursdays at 5-6pm, price £3. It is aimed at secondary school-aged people. No need to book, just turn up. There is currently no adult organised session, but we’d love to hear from you if you would like to set one up.
There are many other sports which can be played in the Community Centre but for which there are not yet any classes or special sessions. Please ask about any you are interested in, especially if you may be able to start up a new sport, activity or club. Examples might include:
Charlbury Community Centre has full disabled access and facilites (such as showers, WCs etc) and can cater for most needs.
Scrabble sessions, open to anyone, on Mondays at 2pm from 22nd November onwards. A £2 donation towards the cost of the room is requested. Please join us!
Please join us for carols, mince pies and mulled wine on Saturday 18th December from 7pm outside the Community Centre. Singing will be led by Jennie Grierson and some children from the pirmary school choir. Refreshments are provided in conjunction with St Mary's Church.
The Thomas Gifford Trust is a charity which owns and manages the Charlbury Community Centre and also the Playing Close. There is presently a vacancy for a trustee, and we'd like to hear from you if you might be interested. The trustees meet every 2 months (on a Wednesday evening), but as a team are involved, with others, in the management and day to day running of the Community Centre. It is a friendly and committed team and amongst the existing trustees there is a wide range of skills and experience. For the new trustee we are not looking for any particular skill set, but it would be good to have someone who uses and knows the Community Centre. If you are interested or would like to know more about what might be involved, please contact Tanya: comms@charlburycommunitycentre.org.uk Information about the Trust and the other trustees can be found here
A huge thank you to House and Carriage, Halcyon Honey Farm and our stalwart buildings team for providing and putting up the magnificant tree. It looks fantastic!
Thanks to Charlbury Art Society for organising local people to make more beautiful mosaic swifts for the library wall. They look fantastic and they now continue in from the outside patio wall and swoop right through the building. Charlbury is proud of it's swifts, which come all the way from Africa to nest in our buildings and this is a great collaborative art project to reflect this.
You can now pick up free Lateral Flow Covid-19 testing kits from reception at the Community Centre. Full instructions are inside the box.
