There was a warm welcome for all at the 6pm-9pm Museum at Night event at Abingdon County Hall Museum.
Members of the MG Car Club were there in numbers, parked on the nearby Market Place.
Exhibits include an MG.
MGs cars were once made in Abingdon.
There was also a performance by the Abingdon Town Oompah band led by Steve Rich.
This was a tribute to Abingdon’s twin town Schongau, in Bavaria, who have an excellent brass band.
The result of the Abingdon BID proposal has been announced. 58% of the votes cast were in favour, with 73% of the rateable value of the votes cast. The proposal needed to receive 50% or more votes in favour, with more than 50% of the rateable value of the votes cast.
Pictured above are some of the leaders of the BID proposal.
The BID lasts for 5 years and with an income of £800,000 from businesses, and likely additional income from other sources, the work to make the BID a success begins here…
I have been following the Froctober Fashions at the Cancer Research UK shop.
Their aim was to model 100 dresses and raise £1000 in 31 days. They have already modeled 100 dresses and raised £1033 with 2 days to go.

When I did my report on Abingdon Museum ‘Opening at Night’ back in May, there were complaints that people did not know. There is another one happening this Friday. Be Warned!
It looks like we are at full moon again. Not a blue moon or super moon this time – more of a haloed moon with Halloween so near.
Down by the River the Abingdon Chamber of Commerce Twitter Feed shows a sign saying ‘Riverside Cafe Opening Spring 2016 (corrected)’. The centre building will become the cafe, and the boat chandlery will move to the smaller building on the right. Picnic tables will be added to the right of that.
