The Oddballs are Back in Abingdon


Seeing The Mystery Machine parked outside the Co-op made me realise that the Oddballs are back in Abingdon.
The Oddball rally is held every August at Abingdon Rugby Club, attracting lots of people with scooters, motorbikes and campervans. Many camp at the site over the long weekend, which runs from Thursday.
Each year has a different theme, and this year it was Day of the Dead, the Mexican festival celebrating and remembering those who have died.
There is usually plenty of music, with live ska, punk and alternative bands performing in the music tent. The rally also raises money for Teenage Cancer Trust.

The Rugby Club had a forced weekend off from rugby training and were seen playing basketball on the court at Southern Town Park. I wonder how they got on with a ball that is not as oddly shaped as usual.
