News From Bromham - Dateline Sunday 21st August 2016

Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline – Sunday 21st August 2016
                                             
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
                                                        
1.       Team GB (Greater Bromham) are celebrating are a record carrot haul in this year’s vegetable-picking championships in Triobridge, thus proving that the idea “home advantage” from when the Games were held in Bromham four years ago is a myth.  This is the team’s best performance in an out-of-village context for over a hundred years.  Lottery funding for “elite” events such as cauli-trimming, potato-digging and celery-topping has clearly hauled our athletes out of mediocrity and into golden mud.

2.       Bromham’s economy is set to take a boost after the launch on Friday of the first all-night tractor service.  Initially this will just be on the High Street and Long Lane routes, but other journeys are expected to come on stream in the Autumn.  Businesses such as the chippie on the High Street, and The Wounded Ferret pub, should see a growth in trade as late-night revellers are encouraged to treat Bromham as “the village that never sleeps”. Those who live near a farm, however, would claim that Bromham has always been like that.

3.       For details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local radio station Carrot FM.
