Arts Festival – Finale

Arts Festival
Arthur Smith EXPOSED was a sell out, and the town’s carparks were full. At the same time in the town the Abingdon Symphony Orchestra were at St Helens Church playing Sibelius, Kindertransport was being performed by Abingdon Drama Club at the Unicorn, and there was a beer festival with music at The Broad Face.

Thanks to Stuart who sent me pictures of Saxophones at the Royal British Legion from last night.

This afternoon at 3pm there is the first of a series of Abbey Chamber Concerts at St Nics Church.

Shortly afterwards, at 12:30, the keys were handed over by the Chair of the Vale of White Horse District Council to the Mayor of Abingdon. The town of Abingdon now owns the building as it did before local government reorganisation in 1974.

Drive carefully this morning

The Tesco Garden Centre has gone beyond selling koi carp and goldfish and have started to stock livestock for people who want to be a little more self sufficient.
drive carefully
Some chickens have escaped while being carried from checkout to car and have got out onto the A415. And so a new road sign has been erected. So drive carefully this morning – particularly if out near the Marcham Interchange.
