History of Club
The game was first introduced to the area in 2011, by Maureen and Ian Wilson, who fell in love with the game in 2009 while visiting ‘The Villages’, Florida, USA. They approached ‘Go Active’, part of Oxfordshire Sports Partnership, in conjunction with Cherwell District Council, to get involved. ‘Go Active’ were instrumental in getting the club started, without their assistance and support we would not be where we are today.
