Things we do in the club
Easter Bingo
We play for chocolates ! Members bring some eggs, or chocolate bunnies or other treats and we redistribute them through the evening.
Our caller, with our fancy Bingo machine.
Two full cards – once we have played a few games we tend to carry on until everyone has won a prize.
Happy winners with plenty of chocolate to take home !
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat
We went to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat at the New Theatre. A very enjoyable performance, and particularly impressive as we saw the performance which started at 8pm, and could not get into the theatre until 7:30 as the cast had been doing an early evening performance !
Quiz Night
Robin had created a very well organised quiz, which we did in teams – as well as drinking tea or coffee and eating biscuits.
We had a Disney Princess based word search, as well as anagrams, and a chance to show our knowledge (or lack of), of the titles of Carry On films.
One of the other teams hard at work !
Craft Night
Decorating Picture frames. and other items – some with an Easter theme, some as gifts for Mothers Day and some just for fun.
We had quite a few roses left over from Alendra Rose Day and here they are used to decorate a bag
.
Lovely pictutre frame !
Phab Art and Crafts Day in Hounslow
We had an early start, boarding the minibus for the journey to Hounslow.
All aboard !
On the bus and ready for a jolly day with our friends from other Phab clubs.
On the way we played “I spy”.
Warming up with hot drinks
Once we were warmed up we started on the crafts, making mosaics,
decorating eggs,
making keyrings,
and decorating mini bags.
Glass painting
Photos –
to go into picture frames
and of course there was a raffle.
Pancakes !
Cooking pancakes in the Wesley Memorial kitchen.
Production line!
We built up to two pancake makers and someone putting them in the oven to keep warm.
Then it was time to eat !
we had a good selection of fillings –
bananas and cream,
bananas and chocolate sauce, as well as sugar and lemon juice, or Golden Syrup.
we even had a Birthday pancake !
Wheelchair Dancing
You don’t have to be in a wheelchair to take part in Wheelchair Dancing – as Patrick and Lynn from the Wheelchair Dance Sport Association showed as when they came to teach us the rudiments of Wheelchair Dancing.
We already enjoy Discos, Barn Dances and Zumba, and wheelchair dance can have similarities to all of these, but cleverly adapted to make the dances more accessible.
Here is Patrick giving us some initial instruction – he is starting off simple – it became more complicated as we went along !
Some pictures of us dancing.
Getting more active !
And this one is more like a Barn Dance.
We finished with some winding down exercises.
Bowling at Bowlplex
We enjoyed bowling. Bowlplex has ramps to allow anyone who finds a bowling ball to heavy to lift to participate in the sport.
Not many pictures due to bowling, and assisting, and the camera on my phone is not very good in poor light.
Church Partnership Party
Phab were invited to the church party which was held in Cowley Road Methodist Church.
Which People do we recognise ?
There were quizzes on Flags, People, and Streets of Oxford, as well as games for all ages
After the quizzes we had a plentiful supper, some singing and then a barn dance, before it was time to go home. A huge thank you to the congregation of Cowley Road Methodist Church for making us so welcome.
