In a unseasonably rainy July the sun came out for the Wesley Memorial Annual Church Garden Party, which raises money for Phab.
There were plentiful cups of tea, and scones with jam and cream, cakes and conversation.
To add to the atmosphere and scratch choir sung madrigals!
After unpacking in the chalets, we went down to the pool, which we had booked for a swim. The pool was heated, the sun was shining, a lovely start to our holiday!
After some rather mixed weather over the past month the sun shone on the Wesley Memorial Church annual garden party, with proceeds donated to Oxford Phab.
Members of the church, and of Oxford Phab swum and played games, and ate delicious cakes and scones, and drank many cups of tea and coffee. A beautiful summer day, and we are very grateful to our hosts, and to those who baked cakes, and helped with serving.
Avon Tyrrell had (in 2016 when this was posted) a swimming pool, which although it is outdoor, is heated to be comfortably warm – which is great for those of us who lose heat easily.
Unfortunately the swimming pool is no longer in use, possibly due to a combination of rising energy costs and the need to make best use of their trained staff.
They had a hoist, which can be used with a chair or a sling.

This page was updated in November 2021 to reflect that the pool is no longer available. We enjoyed using it, and are grateful to the support we received from the staff. We still look forward to our next Phab holiday at Avon Tyrrell to enjoy the other activities on their site.
