Sundays between 11am and 5pm are a good time to book courts for badminton, tennis, table tennis etc as the sports hall is not currently subject to any block bookings then. Similarly you will find plenty of slots available on weekday mornings. If you would like a regular booking, the price could be reduced.
The sports hall has four badminton courts and competition standard nets which can be erected when needed. Individual courts can be booked at certain times or you can book the whole hall for your club practice.
Charlbury has a well established tennis club that caters for both those who want to play competitive league tennis and those who want to play socially. The club presently runs several men’s, ladies and mixed doubles teams with matches played both at the weekend and in the evenings all year round. The club runs three weekly social sessions.
For further information, please phone Mark Jarman on 01608 811692, email charlburytennis@hotmail.co.uk or go to the tennis club website.
You can book the outdoor tennis courts on Nineacres and the indoor tennis court in the sports hall through the “Booking” button on this website.
There are two tables, together with plenty of bats, balls etc. These can be set up in the main sports hall or the TG room, whichever is free (cost £12 an hour).

Contact Vijay by email: vijaysmobile@gmail.com or on 01993 891 043 to join any of these sessions.
You can also hire a court to play pickleball (or any other sport) and the Community Centre has eight Pickleball paddles and some balls that you can borrow if you don’t have your own.
We have a fantastic line-up for the Charlbury Variety Show on 10th November and tickets are now available from the Community Centre Reception desk, price £12 each, which includes a light supper. The show will be in the Memorial Hall.
TG's cafe is now offering baked potatoes at lunch time, with a choice of fillings: cheese, baked beans (or both), tuna and sweetcorn with mayo. Why not stay for lunch after your sporting activities, or drop in for a tasty, warming lunch? More hot snacks may be offered soon, depending on demand.
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 quiz night will be Wed 24th October, set by Andrew Chapman. The café and bar open at 7.30pm for a prompt start at 8pm. Priced only £5 per player, these quizzes are usually a sell-out so get your tickets soon from reception. More details here.
A big thank you to Simon Walker for hosting last month's event.
