You might think that not a lot happens on the cricket ground on Hales Meadow during the winter months. You might be right.
But I did get an email from the Thames Valley Croquet Club saying they have been meeting in Abingdon for almost 20 years, and are open for play and looking for new members to join the Club. (picture of croquet from this blog in 2007)
They play at the Cricket Club on Hales Meadow. I saw somebody preparing the green this afternoon. For more details contact try thamesvalleycroquetclub.co.uk.
An excellent but vicious game. Enjoyed by my clerical friends as a way of getting their frustrations and stresses out without resorting to bad language!
