Mayor and Mayor of Ock Street
The Mayor of Abingdon and Mayor of Ock Street are pictured here together yesterday in the Brewery Tap, after the Morris Men’s Challenge – where a team of the Morris Men compete against a team from the Town Council at pub games and a quiz. The Mayor of Ock Street is the traditionally elected leader of the Morris Men.

And again in 2009. As you can see the Mayor of Abingdon changes annually but not the Mayor of Ock Street.

The Kings Head and Bell have been serving Fairtrade Coffees since re-opening in October 2009.

Fairtrade tries to ensure a decent wage to smaller producers. It is fair trade not aid.
