Formed in 1958, and now in their 60th year, The Abingdon Operatic Society are staging Top Hat at the Amey Theatre, part of Abingdon School, from Tue 23 to Sat 27 October 2018. (Some of the performers, pictured above, gave a preview in the Market Place recently.)
There is also a display of posters inside the library. The society usually perform twice a year and enjoy a loyal following from many people in Abingdon and the surrounds, and many back stage and front stage helpers.
Top Hat was originally a film with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and has been adapted for the stage. The musical score and songs are by Irving Berlin.
This is off the subject but parking in Abingdon on Thames becomes worse and worse and no one has the power to stop all the downright illegal parking
Should not this complaint be directed to Councillors?
There are powers to deal with illegal parking.
Have you raised the matter with to the Police Commissioner?

I found this information quite easily by googling Thames Valley Police and Crime Commissioner.
Given there may be trouble ahead
Maybe they should face the music and dance?
The Lady – please could you raise with them my Grand Abingdon Highsteet Rejuvenation Plan…that is directly related to better parking.
If it helps swing it I am prepared to be approached and will gladly give equally bad advice, but for half the price of any consultant.
Don’t sell yourself cheap, Daniel.
Thank you ppjs. I can guarantee that The Veil will so eagerly hand over such obscenely vast amounts of public money to consultants for flawed or wrong advice, that at even half the price it won’t be cheap.
