We played a variety of board games.
including Boggle.
Some passing visitors to Oxford also came in and sung to us!

Things we do in the club
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.
Zumbathon
Oxford Phab held a Zumbathon on Saturday June 20th 2015
Our poster for the event is here zumba fundraising event.pub – Please print it and display it, or forward it to anyone you know who may be interested.
Zumba is a popular activity on club nights, but for this fundraising event we want others to come, have fun, get fitter, and contribute to our club funds !
There will be Stalls and Refreshments from 10am to 1pm, and Zumba from 11am until 12:30pm
The cost is £5 per person, the Zumba Instructor will be George Martini, and the event took place at Wesley Memorial Methodist Church Hall, New Inn Hall Street, Oxford, OX1 2DH
In the end we raised over £400 for club funds – thank you to everyone who contributed or took part, particularly to George and his friends.
Meal at Oxy
Sharing a meal together is always popular at Oxford Phab and Oxy Oriental is a favourite because they have a wide selection, mostly Oriental – as you would expect from the name, but varied enough to be able to avoid very salty or spicy food – and a reasonable selection of vegetarian dishes.
The problem with blogging about going for a buffet meal with Phab is that by the time you have fetched food for those who can’t fetch their own, and eaten yourself, everyone has finished and there is no sign of the food we have enjoyed.
However you can tell we enjoyed it.
Only a little desert left
