MUMS and babies gathered for a baptismal party in 1971. The 50 babies baptised at two churches, St Peter’s and St Frideswide’s, in the previous 12 months were invited and 17 attended. The vicar, the Rev Peter Edwards, is pictured right holding Karen Churchman.
Folk songs from the British Isles were to feature in a forthcoming concert by Didcot Choral Society in 1990. Conductor Marilyn Mitchum is pictured at rehearsals with accompanist Norman Large.
A new wheelchair was presented to Didcot Hospital in 1965 by members of the North and South Moreton Women’s Institute. They had raised £62 through whist drives, coffee mornings and a raffle during their Jubilee year.
