Sports & Leisure Abingdon 21 abingdon.org.uk Brand new gym facilities IAPS Girls’ U11 Regional Hockey finals In October, Tilsley Park welcomed teams from across the region for the IAPS Girls’ U11 Regional Hockey finals. They were joined by Great Britain double Olympic medallist Giselle Ansley, whose presence inspired the next generation of female hockey players through her passion, experience, and encouragement. The Amey Events Centre continues to deliver a rich and varied programme of productions, concerts, lectures, and events throughout the year. In the autumn, we hosted In Conversation with Clare Balding, the Oxfordshire LordLieutenant Awards, and the Independents Knowledge Transfer Sodexo networking event, among many others. We were also pleased to welcome several special school community occasions, including rugby dinners, music evenings, and sports celebration events. An action-packed term at the Amey Events Centre In September, Abingdon School unveiled a brand new athletic development gym. Located upstairs in the sports centre, the new facility offers members a modern, purposebuilt space to enjoy and in which to train. Featuring upgraded equipment, an expanded training area, and impressive views across the grounds, the gym has already received excellent feedback from members of the Abingdon Sports and Leisure Club. The expansion of swim school In September, Abingdon Swim School expanded its programme to include adult swimming lessons. We believe swimming is a vital life skill for all ages, and our commitment to high-quality teaching, a safe and supportive environment, and expert, enthusiastic instructors has encouraged many adult swimmers to take to the water with confidence.
