Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 1st November 2015
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. Relief
was expressed in the village when a timetable for the publication of the next
Parish Magazine was finally agreed. It
now appears that the next edition of the Bromham Briefing will be sent out next
June or July. Probably. Or maybe
August. We’ll have to see. September –
definitely September. The delay is
thought to have been caused by the need to check with every contributor that
their articles have been spelled correctly.
Others who are merely mentioned in passing are also being given the
chance to put their side of the story. This
process, well-known in publication circles, is known as “Bromhamisation”. So it might be next October then. In plenty of time for Christmas. Honestly.
2. Services
are being held today in front of the cenotaph on Bromham High Street. Apart from the traditional wreaths of root
vegetables and brassicas, members of the local royal family (from the Big House
on the hill), leaders of all political parties (FLOP, CRAP and WHO) and local
vegetable dignitaries, will also observe a minute’s silence in honour of those
who fell in all the bean-field conflicts of the past hundred years. Baler-twine trousers will be at half-mast,
and a 21-parsnip salute will be fired.

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