ST-GILES Karate Club was formed in October 2012 after a previous martial arts group closed.

The present org­anisation was created after some of the parents made clear their wishes for their children to continue to take part in an active sport within the village.

The karate club meet every Wednesday from 6pm until 7pm in the Coronation Hall.

Instructor Chris Sargent is very popular with the children, who respond very well to his every word.
