The ATOM Society (Abingdon science and technology), has its annual festival from March 11th to March 16th. Details are at https://www.atomfestival.org.uk/2023-programme/.

Valentine’s Day is back on top of the postbox in the Market Place with a clever crochet idea.

On Saturday, the Abingdon Community Support day centre organised a Valentine’s Disco on Audlett Drive. The day centre usually arranges daytime activities for adults with physical disabilities, learning disabilities, mental health problems and dementia.

A good time was had by all at the disco.

There is more information about the day centre at https://livewell.oxfordshire.gov.uk/Services/3217.

The Abingdon Monk has been making news.

He fell over, lay on the traffic roundabout for weeks, and then disappeared.

People commented that he had a giant chip on his shoulder after reappearing.

Ben has sent a picture to show that he has now acquired a little friend.
