We greatly enjoyed our Phab holiday in 2019, where we visited the New Forest Wildlife park and had a camp fire, and did high ropes, the climbing wall, archery, and some did canoeing and the zipwire. We had such a good time that we booked to go again in 2020, but a Global Pandemic upset… Continue reading Oxford Phab return to Avon Tyrrell

Games nights
Easter Bingo and Crafts
We have a tradition of playing Bingo in the run up to Easter, where our members bring Easter Eggs and other goodies, and then we play Bingo – the prizes being the treats that we have brought. Once again Tom kindly volunteered to be our caller, his good humour and patience when we lose our… Continue reading Easter Bingo and Crafts
Tom’s Quiz
Tom’s wide range of questions reflected his wide range of interests, as well as the interests of club members. We played in teams, which was lucky, as the chances of a single individual (apart, presumably from Tom) being able to recognise, in the picture round, scenes from Paw Patrol and Gone with the Wind, were… Continue reading Tom’s Quiz
Birthday and Beetle
Nell has been coming to Phab for many years – not every week, as it is a long trip down from Cumbria. We were pleased to be able to celebrate her 90th birthday, with a cake, and a card. She then joined us in playing Beetle – and had the highest score !
Christmas Bingo
Despite having been up all the previous night, watching the Election results and raising over £100 pounds for Oxford Phab, Tom was still awake to act as our Bingo caller for our usual selection of prizes brought in by members. We all had a good time, and everybody wins prizes. Kelly and Tricia getting into… Continue reading Christmas Bingo

She prepared a presentation with information about the Handheld Computer game systems she owns, putting them into their historical context and telling us more about them. She also brought along a selection of handheld game consoles and some games and told us about them… Continue reading Video Games Night
Club Night with Boccia
We had an enjoyable series of games of Boccia, refereed by Tom. As we get better some games become harder to decide the score Sometimes the scoring is easier !
Avon Tyrrell 2019 – Canoeing, Zipwire, Archery and Pizzas !
Unfortunately the hoist at the boathouse was broken, so only a small group (who also had to be prepared to forego a Sunday lie-in) were able to go canoeing. As we always find, the instructor was very good, and had everybody playing ‘tag’ – which he was much better at than everybody else ! A… Continue reading Avon Tyrrell 2019 – Canoeing, Zipwire, Archery and Pizzas !
Connect Four tournament
We set up a Connect Four (Four in a row) tournament, knockout fashion. Almost everyone participated and enjoyed the game, and as we have several sets anyone who was keen could continue to play even if they had been knocked out of the main tournament
Beetle Drive
Oxford Phab aims to provide activities for a wide range of abilities, and often games are played in a spirit of co-operation. Beetle can bring out the less patient side in everybody, which is why there is no record from tonight of anybody actually playing Beetle. Once games started there were no spare moments for… Continue reading Beetle Drive
