Despite the torrential rain at Parallel Windsor last year we had a great time, and looked forward to returning. Unfortunately 3 of our members who had booked for the day were unable to come, but we did get through the occasion without further medical problems – but not without rain!. It was dry when we… Continue reading Phabfest 2025 at Parallel Windsor.
A quiet Zumba?
For various medical reasons quite a few of our members did not come, so our numbers were lower than normal. Due to the heat some who normally enjoy Zumba decided to stay in chat in the John Wesley Room. Those who did join in were glad they did, as we enjoyed a varied programme of… Continue reading A quiet Zumba?
Cookies baked with pride
We love cookies, and are very glad we meet at Wesley Memorial Church which has two kitchens. We also count a chef amongst our members, and it has been a while since we last benefited from her skills. Maria made cookie dough and our members called upon their gastronomic skills to form their individual creations… Continue reading Cookies baked with pride
Meal out at The Red Lion, Kidlington
A dozen of us met for a meal at The Red Lion in Kidlington, and like the last time we came we had a area set aside for us, where we could chat and enjoy our meals from the wide selection available. Several of our members had let us know what they wanted, which gave… Continue reading Meal out at The Red Lion, Kidlington
Spring in the air – Easter Bingo!
We had a good turnout for our Easter Bingo, where members bring chocolates or other treats suitable as prizes for those who can not eat chocolate. We have our own Bingo machine, and Tom, our chair, demonstrated his versatility by moving strait from running the preceding committee meeting to being our Bingo caller. With plenty… Continue reading Spring in the air – Easter Bingo!
Red Nose Day Quiz
We enjoy a quiz, and since Phab coincided with Red Nose Day we used a quiz published for the event. After many years of Phab quizzes we should become accustomed to the breadth and depth of knowledge amongst our members, but it is good to be reminded of it.
Club Night without Zumba
We had been looking forward to another of George Martini’s energetic Zumba sessions, but unfortunately he was unwell, and Zumba is not the kind of activity you can lead if you are not really fit – as George normally is. We had an evening of chatting instead, discussing recent holidays, books and the alarming movement… Continue reading Club Night without Zumba
Indoor Curling and Boccia
Although we play Boccia fairly often we also have an Indoor Curling set, with ‘curling stones’ on ball bearings and a target we can tape to the Hall floor. We have not played it for a while so they both came out tonight. There is often some friendly rivalry when we play, but everyone is… Continue reading Indoor Curling and Boccia
Pancake evening.
In these bleak February days what better way to cheer ourselves up than with some delicious pancakes. We assembled the required ingredients, so the pancakes could be batch cooked and kept in the warming cabinet until ready to be served with our usual wide selection of fillings. There were plenty of pancakes to go round,… Continue reading Pancake evening.
Wesley Memorial Church Party
The Stewards of Wesley Memorial Church invited us to their Annual Church Party – a joyous occasion and an opportunity to mingle with members of the congregation. There was an icebreaker quiz – featuring pictures of church members as children, and more recent images and we were challenged to match them up. This was followed… Continue reading Wesley Memorial Church Party
