George Martini came, and we had another great Zumba session, which included two routines which we will perform at the Zumathon in December. Here we are, with a mixture of dance styles – having a good time.
Normal Club with sports
As well as chatting in the Hall, as we often do, we played hockey in the Hall.
Curiosity Carnival
We went to the University Museum of Natural History, as part of Curiosity Carnival. The museum was buzzing with interested members of the public and researchers willing to share their knowledge. The building itself is fascinating, and the permanent displays, such as the minerals which were available to be touched, and the columns, each of… Continue reading Curiosity Carnival
Normal Club night with games
After a summer break we try to have a few normal club nights at Wesley Memorial to give members, potential members and visitors a chance to find us. We also played a few games.
Post Summer Holiday catch up.

We also,… Continue reading Post Summer Holiday catch up.

Barbecue at Simon and Sarah's
Simon and Sarah kindly invited us to a barbecue at their house. Unfortunately the warmth of the weather did not match the warmth of the welcome, and we sheltered under gazebos from the showers. We enjoyed burgers, chicken legs, hot dogs (and vegetarian options). If you look at the right of the picture, you may… Continue reading Barbecue at Simon and Sarah's

There was fancy dress – here are some of the… Continue reading Darren and Maria Hen and Stag party at Hinksey Heights Golf Club.
Wheelchair Dancing with George Martini
Instead of the Zumba we usually do with him, we had a session of Wheelchair Dance led by George Martini. Unfortunately the only pictures look much more static than the actual dancing, which took us forward and back, and round in circles, with clapping and changes of direction.
