Abingdon Arts Festival 2008 begins on March 1st. One highlight of the festival will be Roger McGough performing his poetry at the Amey Theatre. There is also a photography competition – details are on the Arts Festival website. Entries can be about anything – but just three entries per person …

three…

That’s my lot. I hope others will come up with something better.

Remove the ornaments and lights and take the tree from its stand. Wrap it in an old carpet and put it in the back of the car. Take it to Millets Farm, and throw it on top of the pile (shown above) by today (Jan 7th).

Alternatively, if you have one of the Vale’s brown bins for garden waste, chop up the tree, if possible, and put it inside the bin for the next collection – or alongside.

The entrance to this piece of land is via the Anna Pavlova estate.

This gate provies the only way in for vehicles. The new cemetary is on the right.

It is a raised walled area of land, at the same level as the cemetary.

But from the school it is not visible, and is either accessible up these steps.

Or up some other steps the other side of this wall. There is then a jump down from this wall. All four town councillors who made the visit managed this jump, but the headmaster remarked it was an accessibility issue.

This shows the raised field behind the goal post. P.E staff supervising the rest of the field cannot see the raised area.

The money raised would be used to create usable sports facilities, such as bringing these tennis courts up to scratch. Currently the surface is dangerous, as is the fence. They are used for car parking.
