This is the 6th year that the Vineyard Church (based at Preston Road Community Centre) have run an Easter Party in Albert Park, with egg and spoon racing, football, tug-a-war, and a bunny hunt ( pictures taken during the bunny hunt).

The event is entirely free to make it accessible to anyone in the community; 100 children entered the bunny hunt each receiving a boxed Easter egg.

The Vineyard Church also have Easter Arts & Crafts at Preston Road Community Centre on Sunday 13th April from 10:30 – all free.

Abingdon Museum also has Easter Craft making on the 8th and 9th April 10.00 – 14.00.

Thanks to Spike (Paul) for sending me a picture of the Fabulous Flowers shop door.

The Finishing Touch has LOVE on the door and hearts in the window.

The British Heart Foundation has a “fight for every heartbeat.”

Meanwhile Minnie Mouse at Oxfam would Love You to Donate Your Goods.

There are Special Valentine’s Displays in Abingdon Shops This Week. Enjoy them while they last.

I popped into the Information Centre at lunch time to find out what is happening in Abingdon over the weekend – entertainment-wise.

The Town Council started running a Information Centre in 2005, after the Bridge Street tourist information centre had it’s District Council grant cut, and then closed.

(The current Information Centre will be moving to new premises when the Town Council moves to the Guildhall in the coming months.)

Anyway, on Saturday, the Isis Chamber Orchestra have a concert with music by French Composers – raising money for the Archway Foundation.

Then on Sunday at the Unicorn Theatre there is a show called Margarita & The House of Love. You can be transported to the warmth of a house in sunny Spain for a couple of hours. It is a musical story, with music by some Spanish Composers and looks very glamorous.

Thanks to Spike for this view out of his Office at 8,000 feet. He was working at the weekend and sent a picture looking down on The Abingdon Broads.

I was also asked to mention by a friend that the Abingdon Anglo-German Club has their first talk of the year. It is titled… PARACELSUS: Renewing Medicine and Changing Society. It is on Thursday 7:30pm at The Abbey Chapel.

Abingdon Events in shop windows have taken off this week, after the lull over the new year …

Abingdon Drama Club have their annual family pantomime – an alternative Cinderella.
