Humans of Frome- Spotlight on Postscript- by Ciara Nolan

in Clubs & Organisations
Reading Time: 1 min read

Name or names: Owners: Garry Yoxall , Rachel Yoxall-James. Designers: Natasha Hutton , Bridie Fry . Dog: Otis 

What business are you involved with? Postscript 

Why did you choose Frome? Rachel and Garry grew to love Frome over the 16 years they visited when living near Midsomer Norton. The changes over that time and the stabilities were equally important in us choosing to set up in Frome

Favourite thing about Frome: the diversity of people, the creativity and community. It is totally independently minded and unique!

Little known fact about you, your business or Frome: Rachel was a qualified lifeguard and ran Paulton Swimming Pool previously. Garry did a business plan for a print shop as his thesis many years ago…..and concluded it wasn’t viable!

  • ‘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.

  • Melksham Slimming World members run to support cancer charity. Slimming World members in Melksham raised nearly £1,400 for Cancer Research UK by taking part in Bath’s Race for Life last month. Nine members and friends walked, jogged and ran the race to raise money for the charity and remember friends and family members affected by cancer. “In January the team started to train for the event by attending the Melksham parkrun in King George V Park at 9am every Saturday to ensure that the 5km distance of the Race for Life was a comfortable achievement,” said Kathy, the Slimming World consultant at The Guide Hut in Melksham. “Through snow, rain and sun they have attended to give them the confidence and improved weight losses for the event. The team contained four members who have already achieved their target weights and in total the team have so far lost over 18 stone. “Supporting cancer research has helped many members who have either been directly affected by cancer themselves or been affected by friends and family members having cancer. “Coming together as a team has motivated us all to raise money and enjoy the exercise together. In all, the team raised £1,397.22. Read more here: https://melkshamnews.com/melksham-slimming-world-members-run-to-support-cancer-charity
  • Is 16 too young to vote?. In the recent general election, the Labour Party proposed a policy to lower the voting age to 16, an ongoing debate in the country discussing if we should allow more of the UK to be active in the policies and future of the country. The idea to lower the voting age is not new to Labour; it was successfully lowered from 21 to 18 in 1969 by the Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson with the aim to represent the country more fairly. Following similarly, newly elected Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who has led the party since 2020, supports lowering the voting age further to 16.
