Community Centre features in new WODC publication for “older people”
Town residents who may be considered by others (but probably not by themselves!) to be "older people" may be interested in a new West Oxfordshire District Council publication, "Our Generation". The new magazine is designed to illustrate services and activities provided locally by WODC and others and contains some useful pointers to sources of practical help.
The cover story in the first edition features a picture of John Munro, who plays walking football at Charlbury Community Centre every week. The Community Centre runs two walking football sessions each week which are organised by a local resident.
You can view the magazine online on the WODC website: www.westoxon.gov.uk; the first edition is in the News section on the Home page. You can also sign up to be notified of further editions.
Otherwise printed copies of Our Generation can be picked up from the WODC offices at Woodgreen, Witney; their Town Centre shop in Welch Way, Witney or the Council's reception point at the Guildhall, Goddards Lane Chipping Norton.

Thank you for the Table Tennis Table
Charlbury Community Centre would like to thank the Thursday ladies table tennis group who, when it turned out that one of our tables was on loan and needed back by its owner, clubbed together and bought beautiful brand new one! (See photo). So we now have two lovely tables if anyone fancies setting up another table tennis group or wants to book them to play over the holidays.

St Mary's Tree Update
It looks like the work to fell the tree will start on Tuesday and continue for a couple of days. The tree firm will get the churchyard path open as soon as it is safe to do so.
If you or any artists you know would like some wood to use, the wood will be gathered at the town-end of the churchyard for several days for individuals to carry away before the remainder is cleared.

St Mary's Tree Update
I am sorry to report that after the WODC tree preservation officer inspected the damage to the tree yesterday, he advised that the tree should be taken down. His opinion is in line with the other experts we have consulted.
We now must seek permission from the Diocese to follow the advice we have received. We will share information on timing when it is available. The churchyard path will remain closed until the tree has been removed.
We are in discussions as to how best to use the stump to reflect the place the tree had within the community as well as enhance and complement the landscape of the churchyard going forward. We also intend to make the wood available to interested artists.
