If you haven’t already heard, Marlborough School, St Albans, is set to hold it’s second Music Festival. This ‘Glastonbury Spirit’ M-Fest will take place on Saturday July 16th from 3pm – 10.30pm and promises to be a great day out for everyone.
Live bands include WFK, Co-Jones and The Carolines, as well as Living the Dream Dance Performances and Workshops. Some of the talented students from Marlborough School will also be performing. A Pimms and Bar tent, football tournament, bouncy castle and BBQ are also laid on to be enjoyed by all.
Richard Noden, one of the organisers, says ’The money raised will be used to pay for a Radio Station at the school – another way to let people develop their creative side.’
It was said of last year’s successful Festival, that the community and school were brought together. With their new Radio Station on air, this will certainly be the case in the future!
Family tickets cost £25, Adult £10, Student £5. All details and bookings available on www.marlborough-school.co.uk

C is for coffee, C is for caring, C is for community and C is for the lady who stands for all of the above; Charlie!
Charlie, who is famous for her little Soko Coffee van, has a community of her own; an early-morning coffee-community. From 6.30am, whatever the weather, Charlie is outside the station serving her lattes, cappuchinos and flat-whites to sleepy commuters!
Winner of the ‘Best Coffee In St Albans 2009′ award and the ‘Exceptional Customer Service 2010′ award, Charlie has just celebrated her birthday so stalbanslife wish her a happy birthday and another successful year of good coffees!
Have you ever considered fostering a cat? I have just seen Poppy, a beautiful cat who needs a loving home. Poppy has been rescued by the St Albans Cat Protection and is just one of many stray cats who need a caring family.
However, as St Albans CP are dependant on volunteers, fosterers and financial help, they are now on ‘amber alert’ as they cannot take in any more cats. They say ”All our foster pens are full up. We can only take in as many cats as we have volunteers with pens to take them in.”
Debra of CP St Albans states, “The more cats we have, the higher the vets bills.” Debra and collegues are holding a fundraising dinner to raise money for their heated pens.The dinner will be held in the Savanna Restaurant of the Black Lion Hotel on 28th September. Tickets are £35 and include a welcome drink, 3 course meal, coffee and entertainment, followed by a silent auction. Sounds good? Then phone Linda on 01727 825306 or email stalbanscp@hotmail.co.uk. Their website provides a great deal of information including details of Poppy and other cats awaiting fosterers, www.stalbans.cats.org.uk
As a cat owner myself, I would say “Go for it!” We did and have never looked back since.
