Berinsfield celebrates the Great Winter Get Together!
As part of the Great Winter Get Together weekend (12-15 January 2024), Abbey Sports Centre in Berinsfield will be holding a Great Winter Get Together.
Inspired by Jo Cox MP, the Great Get Together has been bringing communities together since 2017. Community events around the UK are acting as places where people can find meaningful connection is January, and show that winter doesn’t have to be lonely.
This year’s Great Winter Get Together in Berinsfield will bring together centre members and local members of the community. The centre will be open to all on Friday 12th January from 10:30am-12pm with free tea and coffee as well as other light refreshments available throughout the event.
Alex Norris, event organiser and General Manager of the centre, said: “Winter is a difficult time for some to make those key social connections and there is such a strong community feel in Berinsfield, it felt like the perfect place to bring everyone together. We look forward to welcoming everyone for a chat, cuppa and game of cards”.
In addition to the refreshments we will also be organising a few small activities to encourage people to come together and spend time at the centre;
- Designated ‘chatty’ tables with a conversation menu to kick start new friendships
- Cards and draughts for those with a competitive edge
- Take a sneak peek at our Astroturf pitch which is newly refurbished and will open early in the year
Everyone is welcome to attend this event and all activities are free of charge. If you would like more information or to help out in anyway then please contact the centre either by popping in (Green Furlong, Berinsfield, Wallingford OX10 7NR) or on abbey@gll.org. We look forward to seeing you on Friday 12th January from 10:30am – 12pm at the centre.
