Spring Festival
One thing was missing this year from the Spring Festival: A Maypole.
However there was dancing from The Abingdon Traditional Morris Dancers
and the Abingdon Scottish Dancers.
Punch and Judy (a little bit too scarey for some),
a little Big Band ( 4 members from the Oxford University Big Band.)
and a climbing wall. The Spring Festival marks the launch of Abingdon in Bloom, and so there are also plant stalls.
Pat Hobby, a well known retired primary school teacher and the new deputy Mayor, is taking part in a dance called Maid of Mill.
But no Maypole.
