| OBC and the Oxford Traffic Filters |
From 28th September 2026 the Oxford Temporary Congestion Charge has been replaced by the Oxford Traffic Filters trial. As with the Congestion Charge, access by car to the club is not affected significantly by the traffic filters. There aren’t any filter locations on either the Woodstock or Banbury Roads so access from the north is completely free. There is a filter location on the Marston Ferry Road but it only operates 7am- 9am and 3pm - 6pm Monday to Saturday. Therefore those coming to either a morning or evening session will not be affected if they use Marston Ferry Road. However members who would previously have travelled through the centre of Oxford to get to the club will have to pass at least one of the filter locations in the city centre that all operate every day 7am - 7pm.

Thursday evening Supervised Play sessions are at the clubhouse and must be prebooked. Click here for more information about Supervised Play sessions.
Thursday evening Gentle Duplicate sessions are at the clubhouse. Restrictions on experienced partnerships. No need to book in advance.
