We joined in a Barn Dance at Wesley Memorial Church being held in aid of the Open Doors project.
One of the things Open Doors will do is to make the church buildings more accessible – which will be very welcome to Oxford Phab.

Things we do in the club
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.
Normal Club with Games and Baking
A normal club night in the John Wesley room with some games.
We also did a bit of baking !
First Aid Training
We had an evening of First Aid Training. We learned how to put someone into the recovery position, how and when to apply basic cardio-pulmonary resuscitation CPR), how to report an emergency and many other useful skills. We also had a lot of fun !
There is a special Resusci Anne for babies.
Can you spot the difference ?

Day Trip to Thorpe Park
We had a lovely day out at Thorpe Park, and although it is known for its exciting rides, in general we went for the more sedate options, going on a boat ride, enjoying the gardens, and meeting some very nice visitors from Athens.
