Here is
our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
·
Problems
have emerged this week over the grading of farm-workers’ field-picking
skills. Subjects such as Baby Carrot and
Sweetheart Cabbage have come in for particular criticism by some farmers, who
have accused the Field Exams Council Ko-Operative (FECK) of applying different
standards to tests undertaken in January to those taken in June.
·
It
is with great regret that The Bulletin announces the death Neil Piglet, the
first man from Bromham to set foot on the surface of Trowbridge in 1969,
blazing a path for Bromham’s later exploration of outer Wiltshire. His historic words of: “one small step for a
Piglet, a giant leap forward for Bromham-kind” will be forever remembered.
·
Bromham’s
Library has been over-run this last month by requests to borrow copies of the
carrot bonk-buster Fifty Shades of Orange.
Librarians have had to order in extra copies after the lending section
was inundated with requests from middle-aged farmers’ wives, and finding that existing
copies were being returned smeared with mud, and very much the worse for wear.
