Parents and staff of Kingfisher School were also there to sell things in aid of special equipment for the school. Kingfisher offers specialist help for pupils with special needs living in Abingdon, Didcot, Wallingford, Cumnor and surrounding villages. It was also a chance to have a bit of out of school fun together.
