For those who cannot afford to send ALL their Christmas Cards via Royal Mail – after this year’s large price hike – there is an alternative for local deliveries within the Abingdon, Marcham, and Shippon area. Just find an Abingdon Scouts and Guides Official Collection Box and put in 20p for each card you want delivered. All money goes to help the local Scouts and Guides.
There is one such collection box in the Guildhall (Bear Room) where there are Charity Christmas Cards on sale.
“Keep Calm It’s Only Christmas”.
Last posting day for Scouts and Guides delivery is 17 Dec 2012. Collection boxes can be found at

As a Scout Leader elsewhere in the country I can fully appreciate the hard work that somebody is putting in alongside the young people involved. I truly tremble at the thought of even trying to do this. Hats off to you all!
