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.

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