Get Walking

Ramblers
To encourage new members the Ramblers are organising walks throughout the country called Get Walking Days. The Abingdon Get Walking Day is on Sunday 15th May. They will be meeting at 10.30 am in the Market Place, near La Baguette, for a leisurely 4.5 mile walk which takes in Andersey Island, the Thames Path, to Thrupp House and back through the Abbey Meadow. For those interested, there will be a pub stop afterwards and a chance to see some Dragon Boat racing.

All  walks are published and the walks programme for Oxfordshire can be found at: www.ramblers-oxon.org.uk

(Thanks to Stuart for sending me the invite.)

Late Deliveries

Abingdon artists
On election day at least a third of people coming to the polling station had not received a polling card.  The Didcot Herald reported a similar situation in South Oxfordshire under the headline “Inquiry into election ‘shambles’ ” .  A lot of people are now getting polling cards belatedly as  batches come through from the Swindon depot.  Hope not too many people missed out as a result.
