My life: Nial Armsden, 13, Salford

1 min read
Lesley (from Salford Lads and Girls' Club) was sorting out a project and he asked me to be one of the main stars in it. I was one of the lads who was supposed to go to the camp but Germany invaded Holland during the Second World War. The radio play was four scenes of the different things that happened over that week and what the lads did.

Doing the radio play was good. We recorded it at the club. We had anactor, Penny MacDonald. She was my mother in one of the scenes. It waspretty good working as an actor. The play went out on local radio. Yes,it was exciting. Now we've made a CD and we are selling them for afiver. We've only got five left now.

We have just come back from our annual camp. It was the best oneever.

What don't we do? We do cricket, football, sports day, swimming,go-carting and more.
