\nThe first of two Spring concerts by the Abingdon and District Music Society takes place on Saturday 7 March. The programme includes works by Wagner, Suk, and Saint-Sa\u00ebns.
\n
\nAt the Abbey Cinema on 11 March (6.00\u20137.30 pm) there is a screening of Gentle Angry Women, followed by a Q&A with the director, Barbara Santi of Folklife Films. The film follows three teenage girls as they encounter the story of the Greenham Common Women\u2019s Peace Camp for the first time and begin to recognise parallels with their own activism today. Now a nature-rich common, Greenham was once a USAF base housing nuclear-armed Cruise missiles during the 1980s. Many Abingdon residents supported the protests that eventually led to their removal.
\n
\nModel railway enthusiasts can visit an exhibition featuring over 40 model train layouts, along with traders\u2019 and society stands. More than 4,000 visitors are expected over the two days, on 7 March (10.30 am\u20135.00 pm) and 8 March (10.30 am\u20134.30 pm).
\n
\nThe Abingdon Artists Spring Exhibition of recent work opens at St Helen\u2019s Church from 9 March. There will be original work for sale both as part of the exhibition and in browsers. Cards are also available. Members will also be giving demonstrations. Entry is free.
\n
\nFinally, it is too late for the latest production by the Studio Theatre Club.\u00a0 ‘Better three hours too soon than a minute too late’<\/em> is a quote from their next Abingdon show which is in preparation. The Merry Wives of Windsor will run from 10\u201313 June, with a script read-through by the cast scheduled for Monday 9 March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
