A NEW and exciting annual six-aside tournament is being launched by Frome Town FC this summer.

On the day spectators will be allowed to come and watch, with food and beverages available as well as other activities.
Club chairman Derek Graham says, “We have already had a lot of interest in the competition, and it looks like it is going to be a great day. We are looking for more over 40’s teams, so if you want to dust off the boots and relive former glories, don’t forget to submit your application.
“It’s worth noting that as places are limited. Not all applications will be successful, but all are welcome to come, watch and enjoy the day.”

![Town-wide programme brings month of social activities in May
A month-long programme of activities and events is set to take place across the town in May as part of an initiative encouraging residents to connect with themselves, each other and local places.
The scheme, Frome Connects, will run throughout the month and includes a mix of social activities, creative events and informal meet-ups in community spaces.
Highlights include the return of Dress Up Fridays, which began during lockdown and invites people to wear formal clothing or fancy dress and turn the town into their catwalk each Friday.
Set-piece moments include a Kate Bush-themed flashmob (Running Up That [Catherine] Hill) on 30th May, followed by a bell peal at St John’s Church where the bells will play Running Up That Hill.
There will also be a whole-town drone photo on Friday 30th May, with everyone encouraged to ‘look up’ at around 12.30pm.
