News From Bromham - Dateline Sunday 12th May 2013


Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline – Sunday 12th May 2013

Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:

·        1. Shock and disbelief spread throughout the village this week after the unexpected announcement by talismanic football manager Benny Dogleash that he would be leaving the club from 1st July.  The Bromham Casuals’ modern maestro, now nearly 70, is due to have a gastric band fitted in the summer, and it is thought that this may have had some bearing on the timing of the decision.  The fact that the team finished bottom of the Germolene League for the third season on the trot is thought to have had no impact whatsoever.

·         2.  The political landscape has also been shifting as the different parties represented on Bromham Parish Council jockey for position on the vexed question of whether Bromham should withdraw from the Wiltshire Economic Union.  Dave Wentwrong, leader of the Field Land-Owners’ Party (FLOP) is under pressure from his own back-benchers, and from the Bromham Local Independence Party (BLIP) to promise a referendum on the subject. Ted Willybanned, of the Carrot-Rooters’ Action Party (CRAP) asked “What’s a referendum?”

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