Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline –
17th June 2012
Here is
our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
·
Excitement
boiled over in the village this week when plans were announced for the Opening
Ceremony of the 2012 Carnival. Tristram
Piglet, the famous film director, who has his holiday home in Bromham, and who
has been coerced into designing the opening sequence, has revealed his scheme,
based on the theme of “Bromham in Bloom”.
It will feature several displays of massed vegetables, including an
imaginative use of carrots in a picture of an owl. The display is expected to be seen by a
Wiltshire-wide audience of nearly 70 people.
·
People
across the village have gone back to the polls today. After the failure by all parties to form a
Parish Council six weeks ago, it is hoped that this renewed election will allow
the Council to move forward. Political
commentators outside the area have widely interpreted this as effectively a
referendum on Bromham’s continued membership of Wiltshire celery standard. Voters are faced with a stark choice: either to
elect councillors who will reject Wiltshire’s imposed austerity measures on
celery, or whether to pull out of growing celery altogether. Villagers seem unable to decide, but none of
them likes celery anyway.
·
Sport: Bromham Casuals’ shock 3-2 win over The
Swedes on Friday night, even without star striker Dwayne Mooney, means that
they continue to harbour slim hopes of reaching the Quarter Finals of the West
Wiltshire Doggybix Cup. A massed crowd
of nearly seven people gathered in the Social Centre to listen to live radio commentary
on Carrot FM, and wild scenes erupted when the final score came through. Either that, or it was closing time before
the final leg of the skittles game had been completed.

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