In Abindon town centre, Cancer Research UK had a Downton Abbey competition.

The King and Queen are coming and some precious pearls and the cleaning equipment have gone missing. You have until October 26th to help avoid a Downton disaster. Find the missing items. Tickets cost £1. Prizes:
* String of pearls, donated by Frend and Co Jewellers;
* Vacuum cleaner, donated by Miele;
* tickets to Downton Abbey: The Movie, donated by Abbey Cinema.

On the big screen at the Abbey Cinema there was a Rugby world cup match between England and Argentina. Breakfast was being served.

Meanwhile on the Market Place, Guide Dogs for the Blind had a fundraising stall and were selling small gifts, cuddly puppies, cards, and second hand books.

Outside Station House there were a number of stalls, and an owl, as part of an autumn fete and fundraiser for Station House.

The Community Free Space was open again, and will be again next week with the Abingdon Carbon Cutters. You can bring your apples and clean screwtop bottles and take your turn using their apple press and pasteuriser to make apple juice. There is also a display by Extinction Rebellion Abingdon.
