Hi Everyone,
On the show today we heard from Barry Hilliard - our football correspondent for St Albans City Football Club. St Albans City moved up to 15th in Blue Square South league on Saturday courtesy of a lively 3-2 victory over Weston-super-Mare at a windswept Woodspring Stadium. The windy weather made conditions difficult for both sides but the St Albans team played well and won! Barry will next be reporting on Monday 19th September regarding the match against Newport County on Saturday 17th September. For more information about the club, check out their website: www.sacfc.co.uk
Also on the show, we had an interview with Danielle Porteous from the Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust. Danielle told us that from the 19th - 26th October, Will for Wildlife week will be taking place. This is a really important campaign to encourage people to make a will and consider leaving some money to a wildlife charity. These legacies are very important to the work of the Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust who use the money in many ways including buying new land and to raise public awareness and education.
We were also informed that access to the 43 nature reserves that the Trust manages is free. You can support the Trust by becoming a member (giving monthly or annually) and will receive a magazine 3 times per year which will keep you updated on the work of the Trust. To become a member or for more information you can visit www.hertswildlifetrust.org.uk or call 01727 858901.
Have a great week.
Neil

Interview with Harpenden Choral Society
Hello everyone,
On the show today, we heard from Howard Smith of the Harpenden Choral Society. The Harpenden Choral Society has about 80 members and gives four local concerts a year, including a Carol Concert. They rehearse on Tuesdays at 8 pm in the United Reformed Church Hall, Vaughan Road, Harpenden and new members are always welcome! The present Society was formed in 1975, and since then the choir has grown from strength to strength and has a repertoire that includes most of the major choral works.
In recent years the choir has also performed in venues away from Harpenden, including Wells, Bury St Edmunds, Windsor and Stratford-upon-Avon. They have toured in Belgium and Normandy, and have recorded a broadcast for the BBC World Service as part of its series ‘In Praise of God’.
The next concert is called 'Celebrations of the English Court' and is at 7.30pm on the 14th November at Harpenden Methodist Church. For tickets, call 01582 833073 or 01727 837207.
