  • Melksham powerlifter prepares for Commonwealth Championships. A POWERLIFTER from Melksham is due to compete in the Commonwealth Bench Press Championships in South Africa this October. Annabel Moloney, who has only been powerlifting for about a year and a half, will travel to Sun City, where she is aiming to lift 100kg in the championship. “The best weight I can lift at the moment is 90kg but I am aiming to lift 100kg,” she said. “I have that goal in mind. Currently, the winner of last year’s competition lifted around 110-115kg.” Annabel was selected to represent England in this year’s championships after competing in the English Women’s Bench Press Championships earlier this year. “I have been strength training ever since I was about 17 years old and gave powerlifting a go, as a way to manage issues with my back,” says Annabel, who works as a nurse at the Royal United Hospital in Bath. “My husband is a powerlifter too, and his coach had back issues, so he suggested I go along.

  • Footpath to Melksham Oak School delayed again as frustration grows. THE long-awaited footpath to Melksham Oak School, which was hoped to be completed in time for the new school year, has been delayed yet again. For nearly seven years, Wiltshire Council has been under pressure from parents and local councillors to build the 450-metre pathway, which will connect new housing developments in Melksham East to the rear of Melksham Oak Community School. The new path will provide safer access for the school’s 1,300 students, reducing the number of pupils using the busy A365 and replacing the current route across a field that students are currently using.

  • ‘Bowerhill from above’ – local man shares photo from helicopter ride. To celebrate his 80th birthday a local man, John Phillips, was treated to a helicopter ride from Kemble to the Helicopter Museum at Weston-super-Mare and back again. During his journey, he took some aerial photos of Bowerhill from above. “We took our two grandsons as well and as they had never flown in a helicopter before, they both really enjoyed it. Simon the pilot said that he would fly us back via Melksham so we could get some photos of the area,” explained John. “The photo (on the opposite page) shows the industrial site and housing estate, Bowerhill School and village hall, Melksham Oak Community School and the Eastern Bypass.” Pictured above, the Phillips family with Simon the pilot (by Steve Sullivan from the Helicopter Museum) and Bowerhill from above.

  • Revitalise your Autumn with Qi Gong: New course starting in Melksham. This autumn, Melksham residents have a unique opportunity to explore the ancient practice of Qi Gong with a new course designed to boost well-being and energy levels. The course, led by local Tai Chi and Qi Gong teacher Mary-Ann Pickett, will take place at the Riverside Centre and is for both experienced practitioners and complete beginners. “Qi Gong is a gentle form of martial art which focuses on breath control and energy flow - unlike more widely recognised martial arts such as karate, taekwondo or judo - often seen in films and now in the Olympics,” said Mary-Ann. “While Tai Chi might conjure images of groups of seniors moving gracefully in unison in parks, Qi Gong is more elusive to the Western eye, as it involves the mastery of breath, known as ‘Qi’ (pronounced ‘chi’), and gentle, controlled movements. ‘Gong’ refers to the skill acquired through steady practice. Together, Qi Gong is about harnessing and directing the life energy that flows within us all, improving both physical and mental well-being. “Qi Gong is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. Whether you are sitting, standing still or moving through a sequence, the practice can be tailored to your individual needs.

  • Care home hosts Bridgerton bash for charity.

Blenheim House hosted over 100 residents, families and friends for the event which was held in the home’s gardens.

  • Anti-social hotspot patrols. Sadly, the summer is coming to an end, with a little more rain than a lot of us would like! For us, we have had a successful summer with the introduction of government-funded anti-social behaviour (ASB) hotspot patrol initiatives. This funding has allowed us to put additional resources into patrolling the top ASB areas in our town. As a result, looking at what the public tells us during our consultations, crime reports and monthly statistics, we have not seen the usual ASB flare-ups we commonly do over the summer months.
