Latest update from the Management Committee

It’s that time of year when we swap loud, frenzied, muddy, goal-mouth action for the more genteel sounds of leather on willow up at The Windmill. The hugely successful tennis club juggles court bookings and the occasional jogger is seen trying out the fitness trail apparatus – although, I have to admit, I haven’t spotted one yet!

Football, cricket and tennis are certainly the most visible of all the activities that go on at The Windmill, but it’s still only 3 out of more than 30 local clubs and societies that call our community centre their home. We’ve got everything from yoga to zumba, mums and tots to cubs and scouts, the Thursday Club to the History Society, even the pages you are reading now were printed and assembled up at The Windmill.

And then there are different spaces for you to hire. How about holding your meeting or seminar in the Clifton Room, or setting up a new exercise class upstairs in the Deddington Studio or throwing a party in the Main Hall and Hempton Lounge? We have a fully-equipped kitchen and can arrange a licenced bar if you need one. Oh, and let’s not forget our floodlit all-weather court – rent it for 5-a-side football, netball and soon tennis.

To find out more about what The Windmill can offer you, we’re inviting the whole Parish to a ‘Windmill Open Day’ on Sunday, 16th September 2018. Please save the date!
