Here is
our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
·
Members
of BLAG (Bromham Local Action Group) will today begin investigating the reason
for obvious gaps in the seating of the Number 33 Bus. The vehicle is normally expected to be full
to overflowing (35 seated, 6 standing) on its trip between Bromham and
Chippenham (nearest point of civilisation), but certain seats have been
observed to be un-taken this week. Mrs
Clarrie Grimes, who normally sits three rows back on the left-hand side, was
not there yesterday. It is suspected
that she, like some others, have been going to Chippenham and not bothering to
come back on the 16.20 service as normal.

In
a flying visit to Bromham this week, Dick Head, Wiltshire Fascists’
Organisation’s candidate to become President of Wiltshire Council later this
year, managed to offend many with his out-of-touch remarks on Bromham’s state
of readiness to host the annual Carnival.
He spoke of security concerns on the High Street, whether the number of
bacon baps at The Wounded Ferret would be enough to feed the expected crowds,
and a potential strike by litter-pickers in the Borough. When informed that the Carnival had already
successfully taken place over a month ago, without incident, Mr Head was
quickly bundled away into a waiting limousine by his handlers.

Sport
- Bromham Casuals begin their ignominious return to the Germolene West
Wiltshire Super League in the lowest division, following their liquidation and
reformation for vegetable payment irregularities. They will play a team of pub regulars from
The Wiltshire Whippet on a pitch at the back of the Recycling Centre, if they
can get enough players together. Manager
Benny Dogleash hopes to field an unchanged full-strength side, including star
striker Dwayne Mooney, who has failed in his bid to obtain a lucrative £50
transfer to another club.
