Oldham Sports & Community Club
Oldham Sports and Community Club was formed in 2006 by Oldham Cricket Club and Oldham Lacrosse Club.
Since then, we have added Table Tennis, with weekly sessions held on Wednesday nights.
Our aims are to provide sporting opportunities for adults and juniors and to increase use of our facilities by the local community.
In 2007, members of the club funded or worked to refurbish the function room which had become unusable.
It is now an excellent facility, regularly used for club functions and available for private hire.
