Yesterday saw Egg and Spoon Racing at the Albert Park in Abingdon.
It was part an annual event put on by the Vineyard Church. There were also three legged races and an easter egg hunt.

Local Excellence Market plus aeroplane
It is the first time that Patisserie Pascal have taken part in the Local Excellence Market and they were doing a roaring trade this morning. Their produce is much better value than what you will get at the French Market in a week or so.
The Abingdon Carbon Cutters were cooking up fritters and doing a survey.
There was also an aeroplane to try out. It was there as a reminder that Abingdon Air and Country Fair is on soon – 6th May. There was the chance to climb up into the cockpit …
which I did – and this is the reaction I got. Always good to see Mick Busby – a one time parachutist with the forces. Until recently Mick was Chairman at Preston Road Community Centre where he did an excellent job running and improving the centre for over ten years. Mick is now concentrating on his other passion – falconry.
Try an Instrument in the Old Magistrates Court – One Day Only
In the Old Magistrates Court below the Guildhall there is a chance to try out an instrument. There are stringed instruments from the Oxfordshire County Music Service in the Magistrates robing room.
There are also brass instruments and other wind instruments in the Courtroom. All part of the Abingdon Arts Festival.
See Brian Eastoe and the Ox & Bucks Woodcarvers – one day only
Brian Eastoe with the Ox & Bucks Woodcarvers (who meet at Abingdon College) have an exhibiton today in the Roysse Room, as part of the Abingdon Arts Festival.
They are asking people to choose their favourite work with a poll.
The exhibition was meant to run for two days and so they apologise that there was a mix up yesterday.
