\nI was reminded by the Rotary club of Abingdon that the world Poohsticks championship will be in May and this could your chance to become a world champion. Not a lot of training is involved. They would also like to get people to help at the gate of the Abingdon Air and Country Show on 14th June.

\nThe Abingdon Drama Club brought out of retirement a papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 horse, usually displayed in their clubhouse window. It was created by Malcolm Ross, who has made many other props. It originally featured in their 2017 production of Portia Coughlan, and its name is … (‘sorry I can’t read my handwriting’). Their next play will be Abigail\u2019s Party by Mike Leigh, running from 26th to 29th March, directed by their chairman, Terry Atkinson.
\n
\nMr. Hemmings Traditional Abingdon Morris Dancers were also present, keeping the town\u2019s folk traditions alive. They are looking for new members to keep them alive even longer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
