The judges of the micro-fiction writing competition, Abingdon-on-Thames in 100 Words, which was launched to coincide with National Civic Day, were delighted with both the quality and diversity of the entries. The entries captured the richness of life in Abingdon and we hope it will be the first in an annual micro-fiction writing competition about our town of Abingdon.
