New piece of play equipment at Caldecott Recreation Ground.

And a complete refit at Ladygrove Meadow, off Chaunterell Drive, including a similar new climbing frame, and three other items.

That old thing like a clothes drier is gone, replaced by a Springy Bobbly (no idea what the catalogue calls it but thats the name came to mind).

(The opening has been put back for this area though as the matting was put down by the contractor when the ground was wet and may have to wait until the spring to do properly.)

And on the subject of new park equipment there is an addition at the Albert Park – no mistaking what that is.

Andrew, on the left, is a young fund raiser who stages the annual Play2Give football tournament . He is ably assisted by Maxine in the center.

Andrew was treated for a brain tumour and since then has become a champion fund raiser for the Oxford Children’s Hospital. Each year he and friends also select a second good cause, and this year it was the Abingdon Town Amateur Boxing Club Gym Fund.

After the presentation to the hospital, Alison, on the right, another champion fund raiser, was there to receive the money on behalf of the boxing club.

One event missed on Saturday was a remarkable queue on Stert Street. The Mostly Books Blog has the details.

New cycle racks were installed last week at three bus stops on the Oxford Road in Abingdon.

Notices have appeared in the windows of Abingdon Central Post Office to say they will be moving to Saint Helens House.

I asked at the counter and was told that is the name of the new Co-op building. (The move has been rumoured for some time.)
