Thanks to Sally for this ….
Angela Lawrence has organised six groups who use the Northcourt Centre to use the Community Freespace (Bury Street, Abingdon) until Saturday to showcase some of what goes on there.
The 6 groups are: Fitzharrys WI, Abingdon MS society, Abingdon Country Scottish Dance Club, AAAHS, Abingdon Flower Club, and Abingdon Peace Group.
Here is Jackie Smith of AAAHS (Abingdon Area Archaeological and Historical Society) with their display;
Sally Reynolds with the Abingdon Peace Group stall;
and Hilary Kell and Val Smith at the Fitzharrys WI stall. They celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2016.
Sally says “There was no-one there this morning from the Flower Club or the MS society – we are all covering each others’ stalls in a great show of co-operation!” And I would add “well worth visiting.”
Do come and have a look. Such a lot of work goes into creating the didplays. You won’t get sucked into buying anything as we’re not selling anything, apart from ideas on how to spend your free time.
The Scottish Country Dancing and Flower Club window displays are fantastic – well done all of you.
Thanks Hester. I’m pleased with how it’s all worked out.
I hope this might encourage other clubs and societies to pair up and keep the FreeSpace busy.
Now all we need is more footfall.
Great displays, well done all. Good chance to support the Peace Group in the week of the Parliamentary vote to go to war. Can we join in some Scottish Country Dancing next time?
I wish I’d thought to organise some country dancing outside the shop. Could possibly happen tomorrow
