The Abingdon Silver Group told me a few weeks ago that they would be at Abingdon Clubs and Societies Day. So it was good to see them.

Here is a little of their silver.

The Abingdon and District Twin Towns Society have monthly talks, trips to Abingdon’s twin towns, and other outings. This evening members went along to the Bella Napoli restaurant and then to a live relay at the Amey Theatre of Puccini’s Opera Turandot from Covent Garden. Puccini lived in Lucca, Abingdon’s twin town.

Members of the Abingdon branch of NSPCC are sometimes to be seen on the Market Place with a fundraising stall. NSPCC has been looking out for children for over 130 years.

Flexicare is a local charity that offers a sitting service for families with children with disabilities.

Ann Ford went to Buckingham Palace in her 1958 Morris Minor 1000 Convertible, one of 80 historic British-built motor vehicles, for 80 years when the Queen reached the age of 80. Ann does professional talks based on the exploits of her classic cars in Film/TV. (aandj.ford2019 @ gmail.com)

The Berkshire Family History Society helps those researching their ancestry. They have an Abingdon Branch with regular talks. (Abingdon was in Berkshire until 1974.)
