The previous Abingdon Fire Station Book Sale was eight or nine years ago. Our book shelves may be full but that will never stop us going to an event like this and buying more – it is such fun.
Acreedo Tattoos have a special charity collection for Sobell House – the hospice in Oxford that gives respite care for people suffering cancer. I remember my dad being there back in 1993 and it was just such a lovely, peaceful place.
Check out Acreedo’s facebook page for a clearer picture of the tattoos which they are doing for a minimum donation of £20 each!!!
We are over half way through April and The Big Bra Hunt.
The picture is of the Oxfam shop window in Abingdon.
“Oxfam launched the ‘Big Bra Hunt’ on Sunday 1 April 2012, appealing women to dig deep into their drawers and donate their forgotten, spare and unwanted bras to Oxfam in Abingdon, or any other Oxfam branch in the UK, throughout the month of April.“
A group of scantily clad young men came through town on Saturday collecting money for one of their good causes. Last time I pictured the Didcot Thong Rangers in Abingdon it was back in November 2008 when they were pulling a truck for Breast Cancer research. This time they are raising money to help a baby with Meningitis. With them were some young ladies on roller scates – the Rangerettes – on a 16 Mile Rollerskating Challenge Didcot-Abingdon-Didcot. I was too slow to catch the Rangerettes.
