There was a new look to the Over 70s Christmas Party. NOt only did the Over 70s look younger, but this year the young Mayor of Abingdon wanted to jolly up the proceedings and so round tables replaced the long benches.

First half was Bingo, Raffle, and a quiz followed by food. Some of the town’s firemen helped as well as the usual town councillors.

Second half was the entertainment. Carswell School began with some animated singing.

Larkmead School followed.

Then the Abingdon ladies choir.

On the way out everybody was given a present, and the first edition of the Trinity Learning News – produced by six children from Carswell Primary School and featured a while back on this Abingdon blog.

(I am leaving town for a few days to visit Belgium but will try to carry on the blog from there if there is a connection. But it could go horribly wrong. )
