Marlborough Anniversary is just a few weeks away, and after this crazy year I've decided to do a little something to encourage locals to celebrate our region.
As well as being a local business, Create IT also provides the technology behind perhaps the most prolific local blog, and information website, Marlborough Online that is basically a non-profit making celebration of Marlborough.
I'm holding a photo competition and digging into my personal funds to sponsor some prizes.
If you're a Marlburian, I'd love you to enter and/or spread the word, and if you're another local business that's done OK through Covid, I'd love you to to get in touch if you'd like to help sponsor prizes.
