  • TV antiques expert returns to Melksham for valuation day. Local antique expert Paul Martin, presenter of the BBC TV show Flog It!, returned to Melksham to host another free valuation day, following a successful visit in May. Paul said, “It’s wonderful to be back here in Melksham; it’s my hometown in a way, because I only live down the road in Beanacre.” He shared some of his most memorable finds for the day, ranging from jewellery to first-edition books. He said, “I’ve seen a campaign chest and other medals from an officer who was in the Crimean War and received the Victoria Cross, so that was really nice - proper antiques!

  • Community sports field benefits from major funding boost. The condition of a sports field in Bowerhill will be improved with the help of a grant from the Football Foundation. Melksham Without Parish Council (MWPC) secured a grant of £57,812, which will be used to address longstanding drainage issues at Bowerhill Sports Field that have caused numerous football matches—both adult and youth—to be cancelled in recent seasons. With this funding, the parish council can now carry out essential maintenance to enhance the field’s overall condition, ensuring it remains a valuable asset for the entire community.

  • Rising drumming star showcases talents at UK Drum Show. Melksham’s rising drumming star, Joe Thomas, showcased his talents on the main stage of this year’s UK Drum Show. Joe, 16, delivered two performances on the show’s first-ever Mini Main Stage last month, after beating thousands of other drummers from across the country to secure the spot. His mum, Amy Thomas, said he played Bound to the Burn by Counterparts and 87 by Polyphia to an ‘exceptionally high standard.’ “I think I held my breath throughout the whole performance out of nerves,” says Amy. Throughout the weekend, Joe explored the show, visiting various drum company stands and trying out a range of high-quality drum kits. He also attended masterclasses from renowned drummers, including Nic Collins (son of Phil Collins), Chris Coleman, Aquiles Priester, Bernard Purdie and Chris Turner. Joe had a memorable encounter with Chris Turner, drummer for metalcore band Oceans Ate Alaska, who came to watch Joe’s performance after chatting with him.
