South Abingdon Fun day was not scorching hot like last year. The zorbing, giant bubble wands and go karts all returned, but there were no cases of sunburn.

I helped a little on the Thameside Primary School and Nursery stall where we potted seeds, coloured pictures, and tinkered with tools on the tinkering table. We were promoting Thameside Nursery which has both 15 and 30 hour places available for September .

Refreshments were provide by Inspiring Minds who run lots of courses and activities in South Abingdon

The Rotary Club of Abingdon Vesper sponsor Saturdads at Preston Road Community Centre. ‘Designed for Dads, Uncles, Grandads or any other Male carer aged 18 and above with Children aged 4 years old to 11 years old. ‘

There were lots of other cutting edge activities at the Fun Day, which ran from 11-3. On the Kick Start stall you could cut small circles of wood and then decorate them. Kick Start run a club for 6-11 year olds.

At the first aid tent children could try out CPR on both the child and the baby dummies.

The South Abingdon Fun Day is organised by the Oxfordshire Play Association. They also run Saturdads.
