A regular event for deaf people, held in South Oxhey, is celebrating after a successful first year.
The “Deaf Pub”, a night out for people with a hearing disability, takes place every two months in the Ox Pub.
The event is organised by Teresa “Terry” Peacock and Clive Young, who have both lived in South Oxhey for six years.
Ms Peacock said: “We asked the staff at the pub and they agreed with the idea and we started to organise the event by advertising it on facebook.
“The event is for people to meet up, catch up with their news and have a good time. People who attend can have a chat, debate, watch sport on the television and play pool or darts.
“We even arranged to meet up for the David Haye and Audley Harrison Boxing match.”
The Deaf Pub has gone from strength to strength since its inception a year ago, attracting new members to its event in the Bridlington Road pub.
Ms Peacock added: “The average number of attendants is about 40 people of all ages, from Watford, Harrow, Ruislip, Slough and London.
“There there was even a lady who came from Scotland.
“There is a band going on at the same time, we enjoy them too even though we are deaf. Some can hear the music and the others who can’t listened to the vibrations.”
The next Deaf Pub event takes place on May 14 from 7pm, at The Ox Pub, Bridlington Road, South Oxhey.
