Next week on the Market Place will be the French Market. The week after that is Heritage Day. And today there were various things:

Fire Engines – Fire Safety Awareness

Police Cars – Speed Awareness

4X4s – promoting the Abingdon 4X4 festival at Dalton Barracks on 27th and 28th of September. Fox FM were also with them on behalf of their charity – Help An Oxfordshire Child.

And community stalls were there in the sunshine like this one from Abingdon Netball raising money for new kits. There was also a WRVS stall . WRVS organise the Abingdon Darby and Joan Club – an elderly peoples welfare club .

Marshall Galpin used to be a big name in Abingdon.

It looks now however as though Marshall Galpin Solicitors, in West Saint Helen Street, have ‘merged’ with Withy King.

‘Withy King is one of the leading and largest law firms in the South West, with five offices in Bath, throughout Wiltshire and London.‘

So now it is Withy King Incorporating Marshall Galpin.

There were two little ponies helping to raise funds for a charity in the precinct.

This morning dog walkers could not get over the bridge at the Start of the River Ock. It was cordoned off because a few planks had gone missing. Vandalism damage. By lunchtime the planks had been replaced and the dog walkers were happy again.
