At the Community Free Space (previously known as the Community Shop), in Bury Street, there is a picture exhibition about Victorian Abingdon. It will be open for a week.

As always people are fascinated to look at old photographs of Abingdon, and this time there is also a large scale map of Abingdon in Victorian times. The displays were created by Elizabeth Drury who co-authored the Abingdon Past and Present books.

Also instrumental was Hester, who arranged the rota of volunteers and did the admin.

Meanwhile, a group of cyclists came through town today, on their way from Didcot, on a 100-mile  ride, raising money for good causes. Causes were: Prostate Cancer UK, Helen and Douglas House, and the Oxford Centre for Enablement at Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre.

Dragon Boat Racing tomorrow – one of the biggest events in the Abingdon Calendar.
