Do good In Didcot in 2022
Freemasons open the first Masonic Lodge in Didcot
For many years Didcot has been the odd one out among our neighbours for not having its own masonic lodge. Abingdon has had a lodge since 1863, Wallingford since 1881 and Wantage since 1904.

A visit to Island Farm Donkey Sanctuary, Brightwell-cum-Sotwell

Didcot summer fayre 2019
I’ve been away this week so didn’t get to write my usual Saturday post. However I did manage to pop along to Didcot Summer Fayre yesterday.
A summer of Play2Give events
A few weeks back I featured Andy Baker, founder of Play2Give, on the In Didcot blog.

One of the great things about writing this blog is that I’ve discovered lots of new groups and organisations in Didcot.
I recently met Kara Penny, the co-ordinator of the Didcot branch of the Guide Dogs Association, for a coffee to find out about the group she helps run.
