Back in July, when students went on holiday, there was the beginnings of a building at Abingdon & Witney College.

We are now well into the new term and the students are back. There is now a purpose built car repair shop to help train our future mechanics and engineers. I wonder if they need cars to practice on.
Musical Chairs – but with shops
There has been some swapping around of shop premises as September ends …

The Natural Health Centre have moved from where they were on St Edmunds Lane.

They have reappeared in Coxeter House, on the ground floor, next to Behind Bars.

Across the way at Coxeter House AAH Printer Solutions have just moved out,

and are currently setting up shop at Lombard Street where Faulkner Photography were.
More shop moves are underway. How will it all end?
Dr. Crossley Retires

Dr. Neil R Crossley retired today after 32 years and 6 months at The Abingdon Surgery.
He joined Dr Vivian, Schofield and Cave on April 1st 1981, when there was a modest two-up-two-down practice on Stert Street. Since then the practice has expanded and taken over neighbouring buildings and hired nurses and become a yellow fever vaccination centre.
Our family have been with him for most of that time and seen him rise up the list, which Dr Buttar will now top. According to his goodbye message – on the practice website – Dr Crossley will continue as a GP appraiser, and do some Locum work, and continue to support Arsenal.
Dr. Crossley did take to twitter for a brief spell. On 30 Mar 2011 he said “That was hard work. 1 person ill enough for hospital, lots of poorly kids, as well as the usual. And it rained, and I’m still here ca va”.
Enjoy the locum work and your retirement and thanks for all you have done!
