We had a quiz using Simon’s laptop and the projector we bought for the club when he won the Paul Hope Award.
Here he is setting up.
We split into teams.
and BOTH teams ended up as (virtual) millionaires!

Things we do in the club
Noodle Night !
We had already given our menu choices for meals from Noodle Nation and they had been told what we wanted and had it all ready for us to collect. They had even labelled all the containers with whose order it was, which made distributing them very simple.
Mary had baked biscuits for desert for anyone who still had a space !
Normal Club with board games
We played a variety of board games.
including Boggle.
Some passing visitors to Oxford also came in and sung to us!
Jesus Chris Superstar
We went to Jesus Christ Superstar at the New Theatre. Fast paced with plenty of excellent musical numbers.
Last Boccia in the Hall before Open Doors work starts on the room
We had our last opportunity to play Boccia in the Hall at Wesley Memorial before work starts on the room as part of the Open Doors regeneration.
Hopefully this will sort out the floor, as my ball kept drifting away from where I bowled it – though this did not seem to affect the other bowlers !
Just after another good bowl.
Normal Club with Hama Beads
Our regular normal club night, but as well as sitting around chatting, and drinking tea or coffee, we had Hama beads.
Boccia – with our new Boccia set
We played Boccia in the John Wesley Room.
Using our new Boccia set – we had been borrowing Boccia sets before now to play.
The John Wesley Room is shorter than the Hall, so we set up tables as a backstop.
Knocking the white target ball away from its initial position is a perfectly valid – and sometimes successful – tactic.
and here we are on video !
Love Me Tender Musical at the New Theatre
We went to see Love Me Tender – packed with Elvis hits, with a nod to William Shakespeare. Another good night out.
Meal out at The Mitre
Eating out is always popular – here we are at The Mitre in Oxford.
Treasure Hunt
We went on a Treasure Hunt around Oxford City centre.
Setting off on the hunt
Looking for clues
Our route takes us back towards Wesley Memorial church
A bit of excitement – the fire brigade at work in Broad Street
Some clues need working out
Merton were having a ball, to add a bit of Oxford atmosphere
An enjoyable evening and a chance to explore and learn some local history.
