Griff Rhys Jones was last featured back in January 2006 on this blog.

He returned to Abingdon to give a talk about his book ‘Rivers’, then answered questions, and signed books.

Griff was introduced by Mark from Mostly Books as a ‘National Treasure‘.

Upstairs the Abingdon Scrabble Club were playing in the Bear Room. They meet every Thursday in the Guildhall …

but normally are content to look for treble word scores in the Male Actors’ Changing Room.

It works out quite a bit cheaper.

Griff needed those facilities and so the scrabble players moved to the Bear Room.
