Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline –
Sunday 21st April 2013
Here is
our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
· 1. The
world-famous annual Bromham Marathon passed off without incident today, after
police presence was stepped by 50% from two policemen to three. The twelve competitors and nearly twenty
spectators were blessed with warm sunshine.
One runner stood out from the rest of the field when he appeared clad
only in vest, shorts and running shoes.
But that’s the sort of wild behaviour among the fun-runners that really
makes this event so special.
· 2. The
village is still recovering after being placed in total lock-down for two days
this week, following an incident at the village sweet-shop. Two men, later revealed to be brothers from
over the border in Seend, committed the theft, before making their escape into
the Bromham suburbs. Residents were warned
to stay indoors and off the streets whilst police conducted house-to-house
searches. One brother was chased away over the allotments, and the other is
thought to have made his escape on the Number 37 bus, possibly the 12.45
service to Devizes on Tuesday.
· 3. For
details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local
radio station Carrot FM.
