The Marlborough Community Youth Project Fun Day is all set for for Sunday, 28th August at the Recreation Ground in Salisbury Road. The fun starts at 11 am and there will be lots going on, from a tug of war, to rides, to a car boot sale, to music and more! A lot of people have worked really hard to bring this together and we wish them every success, particularly as the proceeds will go towards the continued running of the Youth Project.
