I’m Sorry that I missed last Friday’s 11 AM launch of the national ‘Keep Trade Local Campaign‘ in Abingdon, but I was working.

The campaign is aimed at raising awareness among local businesses of the skills and resources available within the town itself.

Thanks to Mark for the pictures.

The FSB ( Federation of Small Businesses) organised this event. Here Dr Evan Harris, MP for Oxford West and Abingdon, appears to be pointing at the www.localroots.co.uk sign, for the press. (Hopefully it will make the Herald who did an excellent two pages on the Christmas Extravaganza. There are also lot more pictures on Abingdon Flickr of the Extravaganza – see side link.)
