The funeral of Frank Tracey will take place on Friday (17th) at 2 p.m. at St. Edmonds Chucrh, which is at the junction of Oxford Road and Radley Road. I hope to be there and if anyone else could make it that would be nice. Parking spaces are limited so alternative parking is advised, perhaps on Audlett Drive

p.s. At the half way stage of the season I beg the questions. Can Legion fend off Utd. ‘A’ and The Croft to win ‘A’ section ? Who will come out on top in ‘B’ section ? Will Utd. ‘C’ actually win a game ? Does anyone give a s**t ?
Our annual general meeting will be held on the 27th January 2020 at 8.00pm at the usual venue at Abingdon United Northcourt Road.
Any suggested motions for the AGM should be sent to any committee member by 12th January
