On the Market Place yesterday the Abbey Sax were playing. They comprise members of the Abingdon Concert Band now in its 35th year. The full band can be seen at Trinity Church next Saturday at 7:30 pm, performing an evening of film and musical favourites and a rousing Last Night of the Proms Jubilee Finale. Or at the same time at St Helens Church there will be a performance of Carmina Burana with Abingdon and Didcot combined choirs.
The Abbey Baptist Church (down Checker Walk) were giving out free literature – including Jubilee new testaments. They also had a stall at Fun in The Parks.
And Vale House had a stall. They have moved their home for people with Alzheimer’s from Botley to Sandford-on-Thames last year, and by so doing have doubled their capacity, and are now in the middle of a big fund raising drive.
What I did not visit was the Armed Forces Play Day at Dalton Barracks. So I hope there was a good turn out and can feature any pictures you send.
