OSO December Hike – FITNESS WALK

OSO hike 2

Join us for our 3rd Hike of the Fall (it’s not winter YET) – SUNDAY DECEMBER 6, 2015 1:00 pm

We will be on the Bridle Trail off Route 188 in Oxford (Strongtown RD) – coming from Oxford down 67 (not coming from Southbury way), there’s Rt 188 that goes off to the left (deli store on corner and there’s a traffic light there). Not sure which direction that 188 goes, but you DON’T want to take that left. A little further down 67 is a Right hand turn that is also 188. That’s also at a light. Take that right hand turn and just before the firehouse on the right (it’s not even a quarter mile down 188) there’s a dirt parking area. That will hold up to maybe 20 cars if people are creative about how they arrange themselves.
(Thank you Trish Whitehouse for these concise directions)

Bring some water and a snack – dress warm and lets get some exercise.

For those interested, OSO has joined the SOCT Unified Sports Fitness Club (http://www.soct.org/sports-and-fitness-programs/unified-sports-fitness-clubs/) and we currently have 15 people enrolled – members will be getting a MovBand (like a fitbit) to keep track of moves, steps, miles – If Interested in joining us, please let Sean P. Morley or Larry Doherty know that you would like to join and we will see about enrolling you.

(The Movbands are DONATED, and they do require a computer and a seperate email address for each band to SYNC your stats – if you do not use the MovBand, you will be asked to return it to SOCT for use by someone who WILL use it)

We will be holding “Fitness Walks” or hikes or even possibly walking at the mall if its too cold outside, so please think about joining us, but your moves WILL BE TRACKED by SOCT and OSO and if it’s not being used, will be asked for it back (just saying).


Bowling Training begins

Bowling

We are back at MILFORD again this year beginning at 6:15PM. (AMF Milford Lanes – 1717 Boston Post Rd, Milford, CT 06460)

We will be bowling weekly ending on November 17, 2015.
There will NOT be a qualifier event this year.

There is a cost associated with bowling and a charge for renting the bowling shoes, but we have decided to keep the price affordable for everyone, and will only charge $3.00 which includes 2 games, and the shoe rental, and Oxford Special Olympics will pick up the difference. If this is a problem for anyone, please let MO know.

Fran Kupsik is the head coach and would like to know who is going to be competing in the the Fall Sports Tournament the weekend of November 21 and 22, 2015 – So please let Fran know at practice, so we can make sure you are registered for competition – you don’t have to go to competition, you can come and train with us every week without going to the tournament.
If you will be competing in bowling you MUST be registered, so please let Fran know – check the calendar on our website for dates (www.OxfordSO.org)
