  • Frome Wild Bunch Column: Wildlife garden

Hi, this is Jo from the Wild Bunch. 

Summer has truly arrived and while I often feel like I’m permanently behind with jobs in the garden, I stopped for a moment recently, to simply appreciate what I have created.

Standing amongst the flowers, listening to the constant hum of bees and looking at my ‘Team Wilder This is a Wildlife Friendly Garden’ plaque from Somerset Wildlife Trust, I felt a real sense of pride and purpose.

My garden certainly isn’t neat and tidy in the traditional sense. It’s wonderfully wild. Long grass sways in the breeze, colourful flowers spill into pathways, and every corner seems alive with insects. It feels like an extension of the wider landscape around us – natural and constantly changing, but also a small space of my own that I share with the wildlife around me. I just love it!

  • Musical fundraisers hold annual charity event

A collective of musicians has raised funds for Fair Frome at an annual gig in Victoria Park.

‘Tribe Mini Fest’ saw an afternoon of live music and fundraising last month. Performers included Kit Morton, Paul Kirtley, Bee Owen, Lee Howard, the Up All Night Stars and headliners Cult of the Velvet Rattlesnake, delivering more than four hours of live music ranging from acoustic sets to swampy blues-rock grooves.

The event raised nearly £200 in cash donations on the day, helping support Fair Frome’s ongoing work at the food bank, Food @ Five, Community Pantry and furniture bank.

  • Frome up and running in the Wiltshire Road Race League

Frome Running Club kicked off their summer road racing campaign at the Corsham 10k with 17 runners pulling on the team’s iconic red shirt for the opening fixture.

Frome’s combined results placed the team sixth in Division 1, with three runners completing the course in under 38-minutes.

“I was really pleased to break the 37-minute mark and achieve a personal best for my 10k, especially as it was only a week after the Newport Marathon,” said Michael Gorman. “The league reminds me a lot of my team sport days, with everyone working together to score as many points as possible for the club.

“There is also a ‘B’ league, which makes it accessible and competitive for runners of all abilities. That sense of inclusivity and shared purpose is what really drew me to the club. It has reignited my competitive spirit, while still being done in a very supportive and encouraging environment. The club’s Wednesday interval sessions have really helped me sharpen my speed.”
