Sometimes there are events going on Abingdon people would have liked to have known about beforehand. Marks out of five for how many you knew were happening.
1. The Choose Abingdon AGM is at the Guildhall at 7pm today (21st May). They will featuring a number of videos and revealing plans for involving the community in a brainstorming session about how we use our riverside spaces. And telling us about the new community shop project. All welcome.
2. Ruby’s Vintage and Retro Fair is coming to Abingdon Guildhall on June 7th.
3. Andy Flannagan will be playing the Amey Theatre this Friday . Profits go to a charity very dear to two local people which is why they staged the event.
4. Billi Smiles Circus is on from the 22nd May on the Wootton Road. You can not have missed Billi Smiles’s posters!!!
5. Parents and Tots need never get bored in Abingdon with so many groups. More info from North Abingdon Children’s Centre.
Rub’s Vintage fair sounds fab…although Saturday is the 8 June, not the 7th…
Thanks for the timely reminder
On Monday 27 May, there will also be Bank Holiday walks and tours of the Lost Abbey
There is a variety of walks including a day walk to Sutton Courtenay, a morning nature walk through the Ock valley and an afternoon walk to Radley Lakes where there will be tea and cakes available.
Walks leave at 10:30 and 2:00. Book for your walk from 10:00 am at our gazebo in the Market Place. There will also be self-guided Explore Abingdon leaflets which appeal to young people of all ages.

This is great information for the locals and also people visiting the town
I went to Ruby’s Vintage and Retro Fair at Greenham Arts Centre last Sunday. This is just the sort of event that Abingdon needs. I was so impressed that I will be having a stall (as a first timer) at the Guildhall on Saturday 8th June. Ruby’s will also be at the Guildhall on 14th & 15th September to link in with Abingdon’s Heritage Weekend. Spread the word!
Thank you all for this information. I now have all these dates in my diary.
PS
I forgot to mention that Monday’s walks are FREE and provided by volunteers from the Friends of Abingdon, the Abingdon and District Twin Towns Association, the Ramblers, Abingdon Green Gym and the Friends of Radley Lakes. Now we hope the weather will be kind.
