Voluntary groups and businesses around Borehamwood and Elstree are being invited to take part in the town's first Community Fair.

The fair will give organisations such as the Scouts, Air Cadets and Army Cadet Force the chance to show people what they have to offer, and town centre shops will also be able to take part.

Each organisation or business taking part will have a stall in Shenley Road, on which it will be able to assemble displays about what it does. Businesses will pay around £10 for their stalls, and charities may get theirs for free, although details are yet to be confirmed.

The idea for the fair came from Morgan Edwards, of the Borehamwood Town Centre Panel.

"This has already proved to be a success for the last two or three years in Potters Bar, there have been increasing numbers of people coming along to it."

Mr Edwards went to the last community fair in Potters Bar, and was amazed at the number of things it was possible to do in the town.

He hopes the Borehamwood event on June 22, will have the same effect.

He is now looking for stallholders. For more information telephone Mr Edwards at MA Wash Vac Services on 020 8207 6767.
