Badminton volunteers needed

Helping Alzheimer's Research with fundraising at Badminton is a great way of catching some of the action while helping out a good cause

Alzheimer's Research needs to recruit 200 volunteers to help with fundraising at the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials (May 2-6, www.badmintonhorse.co.uk), where it's the official charity.

Volunteers will get a free ticket to Badminton and will be allowed time to watch the action. Telephone 01223 843899 or email badminton@alzheimersresearchuk.org

Country Life

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
