Harpenden’s deputy town mayor, Cllr Nicola Linacre, joined members of the Women's Institute taking part in a baking competition.

Stallholder John Talbot ,of Computer Friendly, which offers free computer training for seniors in St Albans and Harpenden said: "We had attended before and found it an excellent way of finding seniors who need help with their computers. We signed up 30 new clients for our courses and newsletters so it was well worth the effort."
