  • Nine-year-old boy cycles 153 miles for heart charity in memory of dad A nine-year-old boy has raised over £2,000 for the British Heart Foundation by cycling 153 miles in memory of his dad, Sam Oatley, who died in 2024 from a heart attack. Lewis Oatley, who goes to Vallis First School, completed 29 bike rides in and around Frome throughout June to raise funds for the cardiovascular research charity. Initially, Lewis set out to cycle 100 miles but ended up exceeding his target. “He cycled near enough every day in June,” said his mum, Caroline. “It worked out that he cycled just over five miles every day. “He would cycle to school on his bike and then cycle home and do an extra loop. He’s gone down the lanes by us and then longer rides by the cycle paths; he’s gone to football training and around the track there; he was doing extra laps before school and after. In the evenings we would just go and do six miles on the country lanes around Berkley.” Speaking about his challenge, Lewis gave a presentation recently in assembly at school. “In his own words, he said it had been fun and exciting and some of the journeys were tiring,” said Caroline. “There were a couple of times when he said his legs were tired, but he has been so motivated to get on his bike and hasn’t moaned once. One day he did 13 miles and then got up and went out again with his brother around the green."

  • Frome Town FC kicks off new era with fresh ownership and big community plans Frome Town Football Club has entered an exciting new chapter, with a change in ownership, fresh leadership and a renewed focus on the community and long-term sustainability. The club has been acquired by FTFC Ltd., and American businessman Courtney Fong has been named the new chair of Frome Town FC (pending FA approval). Courtney, who brings a strong background in leadership and community development, promises to usher in a new era of openness, engagement and financial stability. Courtney, who is based in the USA, represents a growing trend of American involvement in English football following in the footsteps of several Premier League and Football League clubs. “This is more than a change in ownership; it’s a fresh start built on the passion and pride of our supporters and community,” said Courtney. “We’re committed to making Frome Town FC a club that thrives on and off the pitch, with a home that’s open and welcoming to all.” Lease approved Frome Town Council has also approved a new lease for Badgers Hill stadium and grounds. The lease has been granted to Badgers Hill Ltd., a company owned by FTFC Ltd. The council will be leasing out the site for £32,000 per annum for 23 years with an option to buy during that time. Courtney says he has plans for the site to be part of the community. Pictured: Badgers Hill Stadium, Courtney Fong Read more on our website. The link is in our Bio.
  • Frome residents raise over £5,000 to support families in Palestine Frome residents have raised over £5,000 to support families affected by the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the West Bank. A series of community-led fundraising initiatives included a sponsored walk/run challenge, a bake sale, and a town centre march. As part of a national initiative, Striding for Palestine, 15 local residents walked, ran or jogged a symbolic 107km between 15th May (Nakba Day – the annual day of commemoration for Palestinians) and 15th June. “The distance represents the journey between Occupied East Jerusalem and Gaza,” explained Angelique, one of the participants. “This virtual challenge, undertaken in aid of Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP), highlights the physical and emotional distances Palestinians are forced to endure, while raising critical funds for life-saving medical support.” Throughout the month, participants tracked their progress on a virtual map reflecting the recent history of Gaza and the West Bank. “Medical Aid for Palestinians works for the health and dignity of Palestinians living under occupation and as refugees, providing immediate medical aid and supporting the long-term development of Palestinian healthcare systems,” added Angelique.

  • Orchardleigh Golf Club charity and cup matches Members of Orchardleigh Golf Club took part in a Texas Scramble recently to raise money for Somerset & Dorset Air Ambulance in memory of a long-standing member who died in January this year. Ted Bullock was a long-standing member of Orchardleigh Seniors and was well-loved within the club. The first attempt at holding this competition had to be postponed because of bad weather in late May but it was rearranged for Wednesday 18th June which turned out to be a beautiful warm day. Of the eight teams which took part, the winning three on count back were Susan Marshall, Dave Edwards and Mike Bradbury. In second place was Mike Passingham, Rachel Priddle and Phil Banks-Welch. The club members were very generous with their donations and the event raised £126.50 for the Somerset & Dorset Air Ambulance, a charity that was very close to Ted’s heart. His widow Diana was delighted at the amount raised in Ted’s memory. The ladies’ section took part in the two round Vincent Cup, which is played on consecutive Sundays. The first round on 15th June was won by Sue Sweet bringing in a nett score of 72, six shots ahead of Sarah Hynds who had 78. Read more on our website. The link is in our Bio.

  • Volunteer for Frome’s Healthy Homes team Residents are invited to sign up to become Energy Champions and ensure that local people get the energy support they need. The Healthy Homes team at Frome Town Council are looking for enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers to join as Energy Champions to support people with lowering energy bills, dealing with energy debt and increasing energy efficiency and retrofitting homes.
