John Kilday from the Coventry Building Society has been a tremendous help in gathering most of these gifts for the raffle from local businesses. In addition to arranging these gifts, the Coventry Building Society has donated two tins of biscuits and a chocolate orange.
The venue and refreshments have been provided for free by the Hilton Garden Inn at Marcham Road and music is going to be provided for free by Abingdon Band and Caleb Pell. The town council has also been supported by a generous donation from Christ’s Hospital.
Abingdon Town Council would like to thank everyone who has contributed so generously, in particular Mr Kilday, who has given so much of his time to support this event.
