picWelcome BBQ Night
Our recent S3 Welcome BBQ attracted a great number of young people to the drop in. We had a fantastic night with prize quizzes, puzzles, a massive round of killer (with at least a dozen playing!!), tasty (FREE!!) burgers, and information stalls were set up about ACE, outside 4 walls, banana drama and the arts and crafts group too!!  It was a great night and we’re glad to see some of the new faces appearing back again on thursday nights.  We hope you stick around for a lot longer and see what Oasis has to offer!! 

 
Special News Feature - Z1 Bar!!

Some of the Juice Bar team testing out the recipes!

Everyone should be aware of the imminent (and grand!!) opening of the Z1 Juice Bar.

The juicers are here! Our juicers are being trained!!  The bar has been painted and trendy-fied!!  The funky stools were on display at the S3 Welcome BBQ!!  So, we’re nearly there!!

But just incase some of you are not aware of what Z1 is, Emma had a little chat with some of our Z1 team.  Now, they aren’t giving away all their secrets just yet, but they have fed back some info for you guys!!

The proposed opening date is very, very, soon - November in fact, however the actual date will remain secret until its definitely, wholly and positively identified as being confirmed!!!

Until The Zone opens the Z1 Bar will only be open 1 Friday every month in the bar in the community centre, with different bands/entertainment playing.  “We are in the process of designing our posters and cards so people should keep a look out for them as they will be appearing shortly and will give details of the hired entertainment etc.” Marianne and Matt of the Z1 team explain.

Emma also asked a bit about what juices will be available from the bar and how much they will cost.  The Z1 team had issued a questionnaire to gauge opinions of what young people wanted to see from the Juice Bar. 

Marianne and Matt went on to say, “On the refreshment side of things, we are pricing and intend to sell J20's and Appletizer as well as our fruit smoothies/juices.

Prices, especially for smoothies/juices are still to be finalised, as through our questionnaire that people filled in, we received mixed opinions on prices.”

Opening times will be from 7 - 9.30pm on a Friday night for 14-18 year olds. 

All that remains now is to keep your eyes open for posters detailing the date of the opening night!!

 

Congratulations!!

 

Well done to Natalie Scott who won the survey competition, and to Michael Moffat who won the bingo quiz sheet at the S3 Welcome BBQ!!! 
Both received £10 discount vouchers for an Oasis trip.

picIf you think you would like to try your hand at some arts or crafts, have a word with Maureen.  As well as the activities she puts on at the Drop In, like jewellery making, she runs a small class on a Monday evening where you can try your hand at anything from pottery to painting. 

The group recently revised some old stools for the Juice Bar.  They started by covering them in photographs of Oasis members from over the years then varnishing them to protect them. 

Check them out cos they look amazing ad you might even spot you or one of your pals from years ago!!
