LOCAL councils regularly get a bad press on these pages for pothole repairs and the like, but congratulations to Abingdon Town Council for organising the Fun in the Park last Saturday.

The wife, myself and a number of friends set up ‘camp’ for the evening to celebrate a birthday. With plenty of food and liquid refreshment we then thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment, particularly local band the Prisoners of Kasabian. The evening was a sell out and I particularly enjoyed bumping into colleagues from my pre-retirement work, with a bit of banter about the letters pages in the Oxford Mail.
