The Town Crier is an Abingdon Town Council publication, and is delivered to every house in Abingdon. Spring 2006 sees the 25th edition, and has a pull out events list for the 450th Charter Celebrations.<\/p>\n

There is a competiton asking for poems, prose, photography and art inspired by the title “When I think of Abingdon.” Send<\/a> your efforts by 2nd May 2006 (max. 150 words or A3 pictures).<\/p>\n

There will be a book called “Cameos of Abingdon” available from the middle of May. “It contains a collection of articles written by Abingdonians from all walks of life.”<\/span>

There will be two collections of watercolours by “Abingdon’s most famous artist, Oswald Couldrey 1882 – 1958..”<\/span> exhibited in the museum. His style is “fresh, slightly naive, and humorous, and shows Abingdon through the 1930s and 40s<\/span>“. They show one print of Pigs in Broad Street. There are already postcards of some of these in the museum (Copyright Abingdon Town Council)<\/p>\n

There will be a museum roof opening (weather permitting) on April 1st with the best roof top display in town<\/span>, and the museum “coffee at 60p a cup is still the cheapest in town.<\/span>“<\/p>\n

There is an entry form for Abingdon in Bloom, but due to the drought it says “we hope entries will show what can be done with more imagination but much less water.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Also Peter Doll from St Nicolas Church says that the District Council will “install stone setts in the lawn of Abbey Meadow gardens outlining the foundations of the mediaeval Abbey Church of St Mary.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
