Sit on the sofa with David Cassidy…
Read in Jackie how “The one you love is just a thought away” … Be shocked by Liza Minnelli in Cabaret… Paint the house in browns and bright orange and think it looks “Great” …
Cruise on a chopper… Sing “Bye, Bye, Baby (Baby Goodbye)“
It is all there at the 70’s exhibition at Abingdon County Hall Museum.
There will be just the one French Market this year according to the Town Council web site.
Last year there were three. Instead there will be a Mamma Mia Italian Market (Friday, 26th – Sunday, 28th June), and a Continental Market (Friday 23rd – Sunday 25th October) later in the year. 
Anyway we got some really good cheese called Comte. Not what he is cutting. That is something soft and gooey.
Attracted by the crowds were these folks in bright blue fleeces giving away postcards promoting something. I couldn’t tell you what.
On Red Nose Day, this year, the slogan was “Do something funny for money”
The Co-op…
Oxfam … (Shhh from the librarian) …
and The Stocks Bar, with their pyjama party, all did.
The competition was between the Mayor of Ock Street’s team, and the Mayor of Abingdon’s team. The competition dates back to 1970, when the cup was donated by Sam Jones, the then Mayor of Abingdon. His wife is pictured here with both Mayors.
After a closely fought evening of pub games and a trivial pursuit quiz…
the cup was presented to the winning captain, the Mayor of Ock Street, by the daughter of Sam Jones.
The Mayor of Ock Street is elected by the citizens of Ock Street each year to lead the Abingdon Traditional Morris Dancers. This year’s election is on Saturday 13th June. Visit their Website for more information.
