The Mayor’s annual Christmas Party for Abingdon residents took place at the Hilton Garden Inn and was enjoyed by many. Here are two guests heading home with their raffle prizes and goody bags.

Former Mayor Duncan Brown (pictured) acted as compere. The Mayor, Cllr Rawda Jehanli,(pictured), Deputy Mayor, and several town councillors were on hand to help throughout the afternoon.

Entertainment was provided by a choir from John Mason School and performing arts students from Abingdon & Witney College, both of whom also took part in the Extravaganza at the weekend. There was good food, and the Hilton Garden Inn generously provided the room for the occasion. The party was for residents over a certain age.
