Four tennis coaches are raising money for Sports Relief 2016 by attempting to break the World Record by playing tennis doubles for 60 hours.
They were still going strong at the White Horse Leisure and Tennis Centre early this afternoon. You can sponsor them at The Long Dubs.
Coupled with that, also at the Leisure Centre, the annual Abingdon model railway exhibition, ABRAIL 2016, was full steam ahead.
There were 25 railway layouts. Millanford, made by Abingdon model railway club members, can be seen above.
The largest layout, Leicester Belgrave Road in the 1950s, was also made by members of Abingdon Model railway club.
There were not just the railway layouts. These two gentlemen have created a very detailed street scene with moving buses and trams. It depicts life in the 1940s. An unexploded bomb is being dealt with in one back garden while people are shopping nearby.
There were also stalls selling modelling kits and equipment, such as these Humbrol enamel tinlets. They range from Aircraft blue to Tank Grey.
After the exhibition visitors returned to the overflow car park in Abingdon Science Park to catch their transport back, including some on the Morris Motors Band Bus.
Great bus with a big boot for all the Morris Motors band’s instruments. Does anyone know if the Mini … err … BMW plant has a band?
Shame not all of the visitors used the overflow car park – quite a lot used the residential estate opposite causing problems for residents.
