Pub and Beer Prizes for two recent arrivals in Abingdon

6 Replies


In the latest edition of the Oxfordshire Drinker six pubs were nominated for the best CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) pub in Oxfordshire. Two were in Abingdon.

I hear that the winner is The Nags Head in Abingdon. They are yet to have their 1st Anniversary, when there will be a beer festival (1-3 Nov).

Meanwhile, the Loose Canon brewery have two winning beers (Abingdon Bridge, and Gunners Gold) in the SIBA (Society of Independent Brewers) competition for the Midland area , and are now through to the national final.

Last Saturday Abingdon Town F.C. looked to be doing OK in a 1-1 draw with Bracknell Town.

On Tuesday Abingdon United got their first league win of the season. It looked like things were getting better.

Today things were not so good. Abingdon United were doing OK in the first half. They went down to ten men after a sending off, and continued to play well. However in the second half they looked second best and ended up loosing 5-0.

Abingdon Town also lost 5-0 today away from home.

There was the sound of people working inside the little wooded area over the dog walking field near the Tithe Farm Estate in Abingdon.

A group of young people were renewing the BMX track with rakes and spades. The track was not one built by a council but created abut 7 or 8 years ago, using earth tracks and bridges made with earth on wooden pallets.

It was a surprise to find some young people still trying to looked after it after all this time.
