<\/a>
\nLast night in preparation for the Splash of Pink event on the Market Place, the County Hall was given a splash of pink.
\n<\/a>
\nToday there were a lot of pink stalls on the Market Place. Staff from the the Crown and Thistle (re-opening day soon) were there helping raise funds for Against Breast Cancer, the Abingdon based charity.
\n<\/a>
\nBuying and selling pink cakes was very popular.
\n<\/a>
\nThroughout the day a number of groups performed. Abingdon Music Centre Community Choir were out in force with Helen Eccleston playing keyboard and conducting.
\n<\/a>
\nMr Hemmings Traditional Abingdon Morris Dancers danced with a pink ribbon round their hats, and in one particular dance were joined by a penguin.
\n<\/a>
\nAshnah did some belly dancing.<\/p>\n
