Working at Abingdon

We’ve settled down at Abingdon for the rest of this week; it’s a chance to restock, and to start serious work on the newsletter Sheila is editing for the National Festival, to be called the Beale Park Bugle.

I’m going to run a new blog during the build up to the event, and as a handover, I’ll publish the same post to both this and that blog each day this week. Then, once we’ve arrived at Beale Park, I’ll just be posting to the other blog, hopefully with some photos of the event taking shape, giving an idea of the amazing amount of volunteer effort that goes into it.

Today, we’ve been concentrating on the Thursday edition; we’ve got some material in already, and we’re writing some stuff ourselves, of course. If anyone is going to be there, either on the site team or just as a visitor, and has stuff they think might be suitable (either because it’s informative or entertaining, or both) please feel free to email it to editor(at)nbsanity.me.uk, replacing the (at) bit with @. (This defeats the dreaded spam bots, which otherwise would detect an email address on a web page and start bombarding us with strange offers.)

There’s not a lot more to say today, really; there’s been a lot of coming and going of boats here at Abingdon, and a lot of very heavy showers; we obviously picked the right week to stay put.
