OBJs End of Term Bash in Henley
25th July 2017

At the end of the "summer term" we set off to Henley for an evening with whoever wants to join us. In this case, it was the usual suspects: Phoenix, Taeppas Tump and Aldbrickham

There is always a good audience and this evening was no exception. After everyone had done several dances, we finished with a Worcestershire Monkey and our customary East Acton joining-in dance

Afterwards, we adjourned to the Row Barge for a music session, which thanks to the staff went rather well

OBJ comprised: Andy, Ann, Carol, Chris, ChrisD, Claire, Clare, Colin, Eddie, Emma, IanJ, IanP, Joe, Karen, Lawre, Linda, Lorraine, Mark, MaryAnn, Mike, Philip, Sarah and Vera
