The team who organise the Local Excellence Market have been invited to take part in a large event at Abingdon Airfield on 4th June. The event will be a lot more than a market. See https://www.abingdoneventspartnership.co.uk/jubilee-market.
The Town Council are also planning events to celebrate the Queen’s 70th anniversary from Wednesday 1 June to Sunday 5 June 2022 at Rye Farm Meadows in Abingdon.
I don’t know yet when they have the bun throwing.
The Abingdon Peace group were protesting against war on Monday morning.
What can any of use do?
Thank you to Daniel for more drone pictures of the Abingdon’s new estate by the Wootton Road. Driving past the other day my wife said it looked like Toy Town.
Turn the drone round and the land looks less like Toy Town and more like a building site.
You can see a lot more on Daniel’s youtube video at https://youtu.be/TsN62B9sJv0.
The AGM on Saturday 5th March 2022, in the South aisle of St Helen’s church, will be followed at 3.45pm by a talk entitled ‘Surprising secrets: a tour of St Helen’s hidden rooms and archives’, given by the former church archivist, Anne Smithson.
The Friends of St Helen’s Church help preserve St Helen’s Church for future generations. Routine repairs cost between £10,000 and £15,000 each year, and the friends help pay for these.
The Friends want to encourage membership amongst people who live and work in the wider Abingdon community, and further afield. They run regular social and fund-raising events, and ensure that members are kept in touch with news of the church.
