Brave members of the 2nd Abingdon Scouts had a gazebo on the Market Place, and were selling tickets for their annual fireworks that takes place behind Long Furlong Community Centre on Saturday 7th November. Gates Open at 6:30pm for fireworks starting some time later.
Advance Tickets: Family £12, Single £4.
On the night: Family £15, Single £5.
Members of the Abingdon Army Cadets were out in force selling poppies.
Undercover, at St Nicolas Church, Abingdon Artists had an exhibition.
A lot of people went to the second weekend of the Craft Fair at the Old Abbey Buildings.
There are also local crafts to be bought at Added Ingredients who have a display of local pottery.
There was a final workshop at the Community Space led by the Abingdon Flower Club before taking down their window display.
Many thanks to all of the members of the Flowers Club. The displays were stunning and provided a bright spot in that corner of the town. Using an empty shop unit for Community groups is a good idea.
The Comminity FreeSpace is managed by the Friends of Abingdon: if other groups would like to use it (as the name implies, it is free) there is more information at http://www.abingdon.gov.uk/community/community-freespace.. We have had some great displays in there recently and it would be good to see that carry on in the New Year.
