Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
· The Treasurer of Bromham Sports & Social Club unveiled his budget for the year on Wednesday. George Goose-Burne said that his priority was to eradicate the club’s deficit at the bank of £97.62, and that, as a result, stringent fiscal control measures would have to be put in place. He has therefore introduced changes to the way that elderly members will be charged for membership, rising by £1 a week. This is to ensure that younger members do not have to change their Standing Orders for their golf club fees.
· Dave Wentwrong, leader of the Parish Council’s ruling party the Field Land Owners’ Party (FLOP) has announced that the contract for sweeping the High Street once a month would be put out to tender. He said that private companies would be invited to bid for this lucrative contract, but denied that they would be allowed to make vast profits at the ratepayers’ expense.
· Stop Press: in a shock statement, John Rather-Cruddy, co-treasurer of FLOP, has announced his immediate resignation, following revelations from an under-cover sting operation by the Bromham Bugle, that he offered private access to Dave Wentwrong in return for private substantial donations of root vegetables. Rather-Cruddy is heard on the tape discussing the size of carrots required to enter “the Premier League” of donors, but later described his words as “mere bollocks”.
· For details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local radio station Carrot FM.
