Over 70s Party
The Mayor of Abingdon, Councillor Helen Pighills, hosted the annual Christmas Party for the over 70s yesterday at Preston Road Commnity Centre. (Thanks to her for the pictures from the Mayor of Abingdon’s Facebook Page.)
Over 70s Party
The Community Centre was being used in the morning by another community group, and so there was only an hour and a half to get it all ready. Elves from the Nationwide Building Society came along to help. As did councillors, firefighters, and PCSOs.
Over 70s Party
Entertainment included a Christmas sing-along, bingo, and a performance of the traditional Mummer’s play. That play can also be seen in a number of Abingdon pubs on 22nd December

If you missed the party meal, and are over 70, then there will be another chance next year.

Mounted police were outside Poundland today as a reassuring gesture after yesterday’s fatal stabbing.

The Street Pastors were also there for anybody who wanted to talk.

Close by, for the next week in the Community Free Space, there is a Christmas reflective space with different areas to explore the Christmas Story.
