Outings, Shows & Events

Outings

We like to go on outings whenever we can. The sort of things we have done recently include ten pin bowling, London Eye, Wimbledon Theatre, water sports and some fantastic visits to Thorpe Park and Legoland - which were sponsored by Ewell Rotary Club.

Wherever we go we make sure we can all do things together.

                                         

We are delighted with the success of our latest venture – we performed the show ‘What A Feeling’ at the Epsom Playhouse. An audience of nearly 400 people, including the Mayor of Epsom, Cllr Jean Steer, had a fantastic time.

60 Phab kids were in the cast – they sang, danced and acted in a show written especially for them by two of the teenagers at the club. The show featured songs from West End musicals such as ‘Chicago’, ‘Moulin Rouge’ and ‘Mary Poppins’. There was also a memorable performance from Phab’s very own Queen tribute band (aged 10 to 12 years old) who sang ‘Don’t stop me now’ and ‘We Will Rock You’.

It was an incredible achievement, as not only did the show include both able bodied and kids with disabilities – working together on equal terms, but also it was directed and produced by three 14 year olds.

The costume, backstage, marketing, technical and front of house teams were all made up of youngsters aged 8 to 16 years with adults only taking a supporting role. The project was funded by the Youth Opportunity Fund.

We sometimes have special events on Club evenings. We have disco's and Karaoke at Christmas, a spook night and celebrate special days like Children in Need and Red Nose Day. Each year we have an open evening, to show our club to friends and family.

In memory of Jono Harvey we have special challenge evenings. In Summer we take part in basketball, tennis and Boccia. In winter we have fun doing draughts, pool and Unihoc. Everyone who takes part gets a certificate and winners have a trophy to keep.
