We went on the climbing wall – it looks very high !
especially from up close
but, undaunted, we get kitted out with helmets and harnesses.
John going up !
Trisha preparing to climb
She is fearless !
On the way to the top.
Sarah is enjoying the experience
Sarah on her way up too.
Kelly getting ready to go up.
The staff who supervised the climbing were very good, and not only had the slings and other equipment to enable an inclusive climb, but knew how to use it.
Category: Activities
Things we do in the club
Archery at Avon Tyrrell
Our first activity was Archery
They have a clever device which holds a bow so it can be fired by pulling a cord
watching and waiting
The staff are very helpful – here is a short video
Beetle Drive
With much rattling of dice our Beetle Drive began
Some Beetles were very artistic – but everyone had a good time
with a break for a light(ish) supper – of bread and cheese and pate and salad
and we raised money for the Wesley Memorial Open Doors project, which aims to make the rooms where we meet more accessible
Crafts Night
We made boxes with an Easter theme

Art and Crafts Day at Hounslow Phab in the new Minibus
Very first passenger boarding our new minibus
and once everyone is on board – off to Hounslow Phab
where we took part in a range of craft activities
out of a wide selection – making stuffed toys, jewellery making, decorated candles, photography …
you could even have a manicure !
We were very fortunate in the raffle too !
and finally (once we could get our minibus out – it is the one behind the white Transit) it was time to go home
Moonrakers Concert
Moonrakers did a concert at Wesley Memorial, in aid of its Open Doors project. It was enjoyed, not just by Phab, but by many members of the church and Moonrakers fans who came to hear them play.
Barn Dance February 2013
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.
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 !
