We had a happy time at the Christmas Party (21st December) with Juggling John, Domino Disco, a buffet supper and a certain gentleman in red who put in an appearance !

Thanks to all who braved the weather and came to the lovely Voice Box Choir Christmas concert!

Our holidays at the new venue have been very much appreciated. Here are photos of Red and Green week.

All,

We have some sad news from Oxford Mencap. Our President (Treasurer and long standing Committee Member) Colin passed away peacefully last weekend. He was involved with Mencap for probably 65yrs!

A service of thanksgiving for Colin Saunders will take place at 11AM Friday 22nd at Wesley Memorial Church on New Inn Hall Street, Oxford. Please do not wear black.

(Donations to Oxford Mencap).

I know his family would be pleased to welcome anyone from Hill End, Oxford Mencap and associated.

On the 15th of April, a group of our wonderful volunteers will be taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge to raise funds for Oxford District Mencap. This will involve hiking a marathon distance (over 26 miles) with three mountains in it. In order to do it between sunrise and sunset our breaks will be minimal, so it can be a tough challenge. If you are up for it and would like to join them, contact administrator@oxfordmencap.org.uk for more information.

If you would like to support by sponsoring the intrepid fundraisers, you can do so through our just giving page.

The club has been welcoming guests old and new and meets every Tuesday from 7 – 9pm at the Bullingdon Community Centre Peat Moors OX3 7HS.

There will be themed seasonal evenings including Valentine’s Day, Easter, Halloween and Christmas. Refreshments will be served and we would love to hear from members what activities they would like to have included. 

We look forward to seeing both old and new members on Tuesdays from 7 to 9 p.m. 

Subs £2.50 per evening.
