A group of children, with their mums, had a stall selling cakes, and drinks, next to the Abbey Close Car Park. The money is to help the children of Syria + Gaza!

The Stroke Club were in town raising money for people who have suffered a stroke.

They are not there to provide ‘Tea and Sympathy’. They provide ‘Beer and empathy’ and mutual support. They want to help fellow stroke victims regain their life after the devastating experience, and they meet at The College Oak Pub on Peachcroft.

The Football season kicked off today at ‘The Northcourt’ where the fans, as always, were very vocal. They gave the ref a hard time, singing “You don’t know what you are doing” after one penalty appeal was turned down. They also made loud siren noises every time the trainer was called on.

The game ended in a 0-0 draw between Abingdon United and Newbury.
