2021 – 2022 Programme
We will shortly be able to publish our full planned programme until May next year – 2022.
We would normally have held our Christmas social in December but have decided the current Covid situation makes this unwise.
The next talk, on Monday 24th January@ 8.00pm, will be a History of Abingdon Station and its branch line 1856- 1984 , given by Ivan Cadge. Visitors are welcome at a charge of £3. We will hold this in the hall . See the poster below:

The last event, on Monday November 22nd, was ‘Oxfordshire on Canvas’, by Marie-Louise Kerr. This talk described the exploration of the county that is possible by viewing works of art, and details of some of the artists who have worked in the area. See the poster for this event below:
