At St Michael and All Angels Church last Saturday there was an art and craft fair together with a jumble sale

There were lots of stalls and every corner was taken. Even the font served as a display area for clothes and bags.

You could guess the name of the bear to win a bear, and guess where Reverend Paul Smith was hidden on a grid of the church and win a box of biscuits. I did not see Paul who must be extra busy these days now Revd Charles Millar has moved away.

Handbell ringers provided musical enjoyment, and a representative from Flexicare shared his story. As the parent of a disabled child, he was grateful for the organisation’s trained sitters, who enable parents to attend events and outings like school meetings or the cinema. He now volunteers for Flexicare, who help families within a ten-mile radius of Oxford, including Abingdon. Half the money raised from the event went to Flexicare, and half to church funds.
