There was a good response to the request to bring Easter Eggs, so we had plenty of prizes.
Our high tech Bingo device, being operated by our caller – who has already started on his egg.
Everybody won at least one egg, or similar chocolate treat – but we had real eggs from Helen’s hens for people who do not do chocolate. We play in groups round tables to make things more sociable, and so members can help each other out with the numbers, if needed.

Alton Towers 2012
Early in the morning of September 15th we set off, in two minibuses – the Oxford Phab Minibus and one which had been come all the way from Chichester Phab.
We had a meal in their restaurant, and they stayed in the accommodation, which was accessible, and went on several rides.
On the Sunday we returned home – tired by happy.
We had a great time – which is why there are not many pictures, but you can see some of what we did in this gallery
Oxford Fun Run 2012
Oxford Phab had over a dozen people participating in the Rotary Club of Oxford Oxford Fun Run – if you were part of our team, thank you. If not – please sponsor them.
After all the dismal weather which preceded the event the sun shone on the day.
Although we were overtaken by all the runners
Even Smurfs
We kept going
and going and going – and despite some technical issues – completed the distance.
Time for a Photo Opportunity with Oxford East MP Andrew Smith, and then we went off for a barbeque at the Oxford School of English.
Beetle Drive in conjuction with the John Wesley Society
On Friday 27th April we held a Beetle Drive, in conjunction with the John Wesley society, in aid of the Wesley Memorial Open Doors project.
The evening gave Phab members and JWS and church members a chance to socialise, and get to know each other a little. As well as playing Beetle, we ate hot dogs, and Beetle Biscuits. There were prizes (of chocolate bars) for the best drawn Beetles. Unfortunately the prize for best Beetle costume went unawarded this time, so someone missed out on even more chocolate.
