SWAPSHOP - 24th April
I thought the Abingdon Carbon Cutters might be interested to know that Long Furlong Community Association will beholding a swap shop on 24th April 10am to 11.30am, at the Long Furlong Community Centre, Boulter Drive (Abingdon). Would anyone from ACC be interested in helping at this event?
We already have the scouts, cubs and guides on board and some folk from Christ Church Abingdon, alongside the LFCA committee, and would be extremely happy to welcome people from ACC to help on the day. This will be the fourth time we've held a swap shop and it is usually busy and buzzing.
I look forward to hearing from you idc.
Kind regards
