We had card games in the John Wesley Room and Hockey in the Hall, thus suiting those of contemplative and active dispositions.

We had stacks of pancakes, and a wide selection of fillings, bananas, chocolate sauce, squirty cream, golden syrup and, of course, lemons and sugar.
Some of the more adventurous tried pancakes with avocado – well worth the risk of trying something new !
We decorated bags, made mobiles, and decorated transparent sheets.
These butterflies will look lovely attached to a window with the sun streaming through them – if we have any sun – which seems a distant memory in this gloomy February.
What could be better than a little creative activity to raise our spirits.
We livened up our normal club meeting with a game of Boccia in the Hall at Wesley Memorial Church.
Our custom made Boccia ramp ( a piece of guttering) is visible in the foreground.
We cooked our own Christmas Dinner this year, using both kitchens at Wesley Memorial. Several kind volunteers peeled potatoes, carrots, parsnips and sprouts, kept an eye on the real Christmas pudding kindly made for us, and – supervised by Mary – made sure everything went into ovens or onto stoves at the right time.
Helen organised games to keep everyone entertained.
We were very pleased to be joined by some of the members of Wesley Memorial Church who have supported us over the years.
Members contribute a range of chocolatey prizes, and we play Bingo, to redistribute them.
We also have some non-chocolate prizes for those who non-chocolate eaters.
The game is sociable, provides practice in recognising numbers, and for those of us who are learning BSL, an opportunity to practice signing numbers.
We also celebrated a birthday, with a thoughtfully chosen, non-chocolate, birthday cake.
We went to see Mama Mia, the musical at the New Theatre in Oxford.
It was full of hit songs, and energetic performances – and we had a great time.
The Fun Weekend organised by Phab Southeast in 2015 was very enjoyable, so a dozen members of Oxford Phab signed up to go again in 2017.
Taking the minibus and a car, we set off on Friday morning, hoping we might even arrive at the coast in time to see the sea before we checked into the hotel. Unfortunately the A34 was completely closed southbound, leading us to enjoy a scenic tour of Hampshire instead, with a highlight of the services at Sutton Scotney.
Finally we arrived at the hotel, checked in, unpacked and mingled with members from other Phab clubs in the bar until it was time for dinner.
Dinner was a buffet, with a selection of hot dishes, and was accompanied by entertainment and followed by disco and karaoke .
After a buffet breakfast, and a presentation by the CEO of Disabled Motoring UK, we split into groups for activities in the morning and afternoon with a buffet lunch in between.
In the this activity we learnt how to make a snowman, a wreath and a mug of chocolate out of marshmallows, biscuits and other edible goodies.
We saw, and in some cases got close to, a range of animals.
We got dressed up for a posh dinner.
Dinner was followed by a Disco.
After an Act of Worship for anyone who wished to attend, and who had got up in time, there was a Team Building exercise, once again making things out of edible material.
This was followed by a full Sunday Lunch, with Roast Beef, Pork or Turkey, and then we had a wrap up session and all went home.
