The war memorial area has been reopened and the area around looks bright and clean in the early May sunshine. The memorial has been stabilised and cleaned, and the surrounding area improved.

Innovative Use of Estate Agent’s Sign
This Estate Agents sign at the junction of Lucca Drive and Virginia Way is one of many around Abingdon advertising the upcoming 2011 Abingdon Air & Country Charity Show happening this Sunday. Last year the show’s organisers were not sure if it had a future as they were not allowed to land planes. Such problems have been overcome and the show now goes on. Chancellors are one of the sponsors and have shown a good use for some of their signs.
The Saving of Crazy Golf
Over the four day, double bank holiday, weekend the sun shone constantly once the Royal Wedding was over. Boats could be hired from The Abingdon Boat Centre on Nags Head Island.
Abbey Meadows golf and tennis facilities were also open over the weekend, with either crazy golf
or pitch and putt. As you may remember back in January, the Vale District Council was looking for possible savings given the reduced grant from central government and the golf and tennis was put forward as a possibility. So it is good to see the golf saved.

With Thanks to Nick Addison at tracking-shot.com. I even get a speaking part on this one. I’m the one with white hair and fly away hands.
