Opening of Centre in Jan 2016

First Birthday Party!

Athena’s Owls is a series of free Saturday workshops with children and young families in 2025. The workshops will blend storytelling inspired by Greek Myths with practical and creative activities.

For the winter / early spring programme, they will run three indoor sessions with the wonderful Stirchley Baths. You and your children will enjoy story time inspired by characters and tales from ancient Greece, such as Icarus, Pandora or Medusa, followed by craft activities about the myths we will explore together. These workshops will take place 10-11am on the below dates:

• Saturday 22nd February
• Saturday 22nd March
• Saturday 19th April

You can book your places at: athenasowls-bmca.eventbrite.co.uk
Please note booking in advance is advised. These sessions are recommended for children age 6+ and they must be accompanied by a guardian throughout the event.

One of the great success stories at Stirchley Baths has been the development of community table tennis  since 2016, starting with a couple of tables and now with five tables – Community Sessions run on  Mondays 2-3.30pm and Fridays 2-4pm. These are open to adults at all levels and only cost £2/session. The sessions are very sociable and new members are always welcome. Thank you to Matt and Linda who are the volunteer leaders for the sessions.

The next step – In 2019  a few casual players decided they would like to have a go at playing more competitively so Stirchley Baths Table Tennis Club was formed and a team  entered into the local Birmingham league. Unfortunately the first season was interrupted by Covid but in the year following lockdown the club won the 22/23 Division 4 and were promoted- a great achievement for a new club! For the 23/4 Winter season the club progressed to having entering 2 teams – Division 2 and Division 3 – both consolidated their position plus Noel Dias was awarded the trophy for best stats in Division 3 at the League AGM in July – well done Noel! The club has also been successful with 2 grants enabling more equipment and 2 match tables to be purchased, as well as running Coaching Sessions on a Wednesday evening.

Carrying on the progression 2 teams have been playing in the Summer League this year and it is hoped to enter 3 teams into the 24/5 Winter Leagues.

Club Night is run on a Monday evening 7.30-9pm for team members.
