Charlbury Debating Society
Eminent Charlburians will be pleased to learn that the illustrious Debating Society convened in the Corner House for its late winter session on Thursday night.

Watch out for the next Debating Society event - a pre-election head-to-head with parliamentary candidates for the Witney constituency on Thursday 9th April!
