  • Bridge club reaches out to next generation of players

A bridge club in Frome is launching a new season of beginner lessons this autumn, starting with a demonstration event at Frome Library this month.

The club will be running an ‘All about Bridge’ event at Frome Library on Saturday 5th September to give an insight into the game for anyone interested in learning to play it.

The event will consist of a simple bridge demo session where four people will be playing the game, along with lots of information about bridge and its history. It will run from 9.45am to 2pm.

Members of the club shared their skills at the town council’s play event at the Key Centre on 5th August, marking National Play Day 2026. It was the first in a series of initiatives by the club to showcase the game ahead of its new teaching year in October.

  • Frome resident launches midlife wellness brand

A resident from Frome has launched a new wellness brand creating supplements aimed at supporting women through midlife and beyond.

Chris Curwen is the founder of Creatonics, which has launched what it describes as the UK’s first day-and-night creatine system formulated specifically for women over 40.

The brand has partnered with Bath-based personal trainer and Olympic gold medallist Amy Williams MBE, who has become a founding ambassador for the company.

A spokesperson for the Creatonics founding team said, “The company is born from the need to support women through the physiological shifts of midlife, perimenopause, menopause and beyond. Creatonics is redefining how women approach strength and healthy ageing. While creatine is widely celebrated for its muscle function and performance benefits, Creatonics is the first brand to optimise it specifically for a woman’s natural daily rhythm with a dual-formula approach.
  • Ex-Somerset councillor jailed over M25 protest reflects ahead of by-election

By Local Democracy Reporter Daniel Mumby 

Former Somerset councillor, Michael Dunk, jailed for his role in a protest on the M25 has reflected on his career and his role in environmental activism.

Michael was one of two Green Party councillors elected to represent the Frome West division at the local elections in May 2022.

Known affectionately as ‘Mick’, he was among numerous Just Stop Oil activists who climbed gantries on the M25 in November 2022 to demand an end to new fossil fuel projects.

Following his release from prison and a failed appeal against his conviction, Michael was forced to step down in mid-July – with a by-election to replace him being held in the coming weeks. 

Having been released on licence, he still has to see his probation officer once a month and has to give advanced notice if he is travelling outside of Somerset or further afield.

  • Lunchtime concert to bring American composers to Frome

A lunchtimes concert at Christ Church, Frome, this month will combine familiar works with music by lesser-known American composers.

The concert on Saturday 5th September at 1pm, will be given by violinist Helena Todd and Frome pianist Paul Eyre and will feature familiar works by Bartók, Gershwin, Chopin and Debussy alongside a little-heard work by William Grant Still and Amy Beach’s Romance. 

William Still was an important American composer whose Afro-American Symphony was premiered by the Rochester Philharmonic in 1931, while Amy Beach’s Romance was first performed in 1893 by violinist Maud Powell, with the composer at the piano.

  • Repairs to 300-year-old building to begin

Work to repair one of Frome’s most historic buildings is set to begin after a fundraising appeal raised more than £50,000 towards the project.

The Blue House, a Grade I-listed building on The Bridge, has been providing affordable accommodation for the town’s elderly men and women since 1480. The current building was renovated in 1728 and is the third building on the site. 

Last year, the trustees launched a tricentenary fundraiser to raise £500,000 to cover structural repairs, including work on the windows, external stonework and roof.

With £53,924 already raised, they are due to start phase one of the works in October, which will focus on work above the gutter line, including the roof and flats at the top of the building.

Blue House Manager David Hoare said, “Rather than trying to wait until we have got all of the funds, which could take us years, we will make a start with what we have got and start the works.

  • Boys mentoring group gives different model of masculinity

A mentoring group for boys to explore masculinity away from the influence of social media is launching in Frome.

The Village Boys group is open to boys aged eight to 12 and is led by male mentors Luke and Rob at the Critchill Manor Estate. It is organised by The Village Frome CIC.

Boys in the group can take part in activities including using tools, cooking over fire, growing food, exploring the woods, caring for the land and taking on jobs that make a genuine contribution to the community.

Adventure, challenge and rites of passage will also form part of the group as it develops. 

The group has been developed in response to concerns about the messages boys are exposed to online about masculinity, relationships and what it means to be a man.

  • Frome social group welcomes social media star Francis Bourgeois

Local railway enthusiast Francis Bourgeois recently attended a new social group for people with a shared interest in trains.

Francis is famed for his enthusiastic videos on social media about trains. He recently attended the Trains Connect social group at the Cheese and Grain to meet with other railway enthusiasts and enjoyed chatting with the group.

Organisers say, “Trains Connect is as much about people and connection as it is about trains. There is no need to be a railway expert. People can come along, share their interests and stories, meet others or simply enjoy listening and being part of the group.”

  • Council progresses plans to refurbish Market Yard toilets

Frome Town Council is progressing with plans to apply for a £250,000 loan to fund development work at the Market Yard toilet block and surrounding area.

At the Full Council meeting on 5th August, councillors agreed to submit the wording required for a Public Works Loan Board (PWLB) application.

The proposed loan would be for 20 years, with annual repayments of around £22,000. However, no money will be drawn down until a lease agreement with Somerset Council has been finalised, the design work and full project costs are known and adequate funding is available.

The council said the application allows it to prepare for the next stage of the project while continuing to develop proposals with partners.
