Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
· Parish leaders were thick on the ground this week at the Wiltshire Economic Forum (WEF) being held in the exclusive skiing resort of Trowbridge. Everywhere you looked, a member of the Parish Council or leader of one of the many major Bromham businesses, one of the many members of the Piglet family, was busy making a speech about nothing in particular, giving an interview to the Bromham Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) or having meetings with one another;
· Nominations have been announced for all the major categories in the annual Outdoor Services Carrot, Artichoke and Radish (OSCAR) awards, with the star-studded ceremony to be held next month in the plush surroundings of the Bromham Social Centre. It is rumoured that no expense is to be spared in preparing the venue for the night of stars, including the installation of a new strip of red linoleum in the lobby, and the complete rinsing out of the bar towels.
· A row has broken out on the High Street at Knuckle & Gristle Ltd, butchers to the gentry, where the manager John Piglet has been awarded a bonus thought to exceed a whole side of beef (jointed and vacuum-packed for the freezer). The Field Land Owners’ Party (FLOP)-controlled parish council has said that it is powerless to intercede, since the policy of palming off leftover Christmas products to the staff was introduced during the time of the last council, at that time controlled by the Carrot Rooters’ Action Party (CRAP).
· For details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local radio station Carrot FM.
