Jazz Club continues Stolen Moments series

FROME Jazz Club’s latest ‘Stolen Moments’ free concert series will feature saxophonist Sam Crockatt, double bassist Henrik Jensen and pianist Keith Harrison-Broninski who will play lyrical original compositions on Saturday 9th March at Christ Church from 3pm to 5pm.

Sam and Henrik are among the UK’s leading jazz musicians. Winner of a Parliamentary Jazz Award, Sam is a powerful, distinctive, and supremely accomplished voice on the tenor saxophone with several acclaimed albums to his name. Bassist and composer Henrik has also released several albums and is in demand as a sideman at the forefront of the UK jazz scene.

Frome Jazz Club say, “Do you ever feel that even your weekends are too busy and demanding? That you need time out, just to relax? Stolen Moments is a new kind of jazz event. A late Saturday afternoon interlude in the liminal space between day and evening. True downtime, in a beautiful church, to do nothing but enjoy exquisite modern jazz and delicious cakes.

“Tickets are not necessary and entry is free. Just come along to Christ Church, Frome from 3 pm to 5 pm. The concerts are informal occasions and you are welcome to drop in and out. Refreshments are available as well as cushions for the pews!

“For those that missed Stolen Moments on 10th February, the gorgeous music of Bacharach and David featuring Rosanna Schura and Nathan Mansfield, recordings will be broadcast on Frome FM at 11 pm on Sunday 3rd March then again at 7 pm on Wednesday 6th March. In the meantime, highlight recordings will be coming online gradually – you can listen now to This Girl’s In Love.”

  • Charity rugby match shines light on motor neurone disease

A special rugby tournament was held at Frome Rugby Club recently to raise awareness and funds for motor neurone disease (MND).

The ‘No Talk Touch’ rugby tournament saw players forbidden from speaking during games, reflecting communication challenges experienced by people living with MND.

The event was held in support of club member Dom Jones, who is undertaking a 26 for 26 challenge for MND charities after his mum Nicola was diagnosed with the illness last year.

More than 20 junior and senior teams took part in the day-long festival of rugby. During periods of each match, teams were forced to rely on instinct, teamwork and non-verbal communication.

  • Bowls club launches fundraiser in memory of Frome baby

A bowls club is holding a summer-long fundraiser in memory of a Frome baby while supporting her family’s campaign to raise awareness of a serious pregnancy condition.

Members of Frome Selwood Bowling Club will play a weekly ‘spider’ competition every Monday until the end of the season to raise money for the family’s fundraising efforts.

Sienna Rose Stedman was stillborn at 37 weeks on 24 September 2025. Following her death, her parents discovered her mother, Natalie Harley, had been suffering from Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP), a condition that can pose serious risks during pregnancy if left undiagnosed.

The family are campaigning to raise awareness of ICP and calling for routine bile acid testing to be made mandatory for all pregnant women.

  • Jon Davies returns in fine form in convincing win

Saturday 11th July. Pre-season friendly
Buckland Athletic 1-4 Frome Town
Davies (12’); Gould (24’); Drew (39’); Hopkins (58’)

Danny Greaves’ men were victorious in Devon as they overcame Buckland by four goals to one.

Fan-favourite Jon Davies opened the scoring with his first goal back after being on the sidelines due to a long-term injury. Frome added a second before the hosts made it 2-1 shortly after the first hydration break but the Robins were able to knuckle down and stay in control of the second-half.

Goals from Zak Drew and Albie Hopkins sealed the victory for the Scarlet Runners, who also gained some valuable minutes for all players.

The visitors started where they left off after the convincing win at Radstock, breaking the deadlock on 12 minutes. Ferris’ perfectly weighted pass found Davies with his effort finding the bottom right corner.

  • Book Boogie to start annual reading challenge

An event to mark the start of the Summer Reading Challenge is being held outside of Frome Library on Tuesday 21st July.

Children in Frome are invited to the ‘Book Boogie’ at 4pm where they can take their favourite book for a boogie led by Cheryl Sprinkler of Mojo Moves.

The boogie will mark the national Summer Reading Challenge, which, since 1999 has encouraged children to read or listen to six books of their choosing from their local public library, along the way they will collect stickers and cards to celebrate their reading milestones.

The theme of this year’s challenge is ‘Read to the Beat’. “We thought what better way to celebrate the challenge and the end of the school term, than with a Book Boogie,” said chairperson of Friends of Frome Library, Kerry Meech.

Young athletes from Frome are celebrating success across a range of sports after achieving impressive results at national and international level. 

Jas Wilde, 18, of Frome Canoe Club, represented Great Britain at the Junior World Championships in Krakow, Poland, where she narrowly missed out on a place in the women’s canoe final to finish 16th in the world. 

Thomas Stubbington, 11, a member of Frome Town Archers, was crowned Under-14 Barebow National Boys Champion at the Junior National Outdoor Championships held at Lilleshall, near Telford, on 5th July.

  • Celebration to mark 10 years of renewable energy in Frome

A renewable energy co-operative in Frome is celebrating 10 years since its first community-owned solar project began generating electricity for the town.

Frome Renewable Energy Co-operative (FRECo) is entirely volunteer-run and generates enough electricity to power around 300 MWh of energy from the roofs of Frome Medical Practice and Badgers Hill.

To mark its 10th anniversary, everyone is invited to a free anniversary celebration on Monday 20th July, from 4pm to 6pm, at the Bandstand in Victoria Park. 

Organisers say, “Whether you’ve invested in a FRECo project, volunteered, supported our work, or are simply interested in community-owned renewable energy, we’d love to see you."
