  • Special awards for Frome student with rare brain condition A Frome student who has a rare brain condition has won two special awards for her hard work and dedication while completing her music performance and production course. Maya Sherriff, who was born and raised in Frome, has been recognised as the Overall Vocational Student of the Year and also received the Success Against the Odds award at the Strode College Student Awards, standing out among 1,350 students. Maya was born with vein of Galen malformation (VGM), a rare vascular abnormality where arteries in the brain connect directly to veins, bypassing the normal capillary network. She spent a significant amount of time at Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital in London, where she underwent many highly specialised and life-saving operations during her infancy and early childhood.

  • Young Frome rider buys dream bike after saving for three years A young motorbike rider in Frome says he is “over the moon” after saving for nearly three years to buy his dream off-road Yamaha motorbike. Ed Price, 11, purchased a Yamaha TTR 125cc copy after putting aside all the money he earned doing chores and helping his mum deliver the Frome Times. “Ed knew that even after buying the bike, it would still need a lot of money for day-to-day running,” said his mum, Victoria. Before helping with the paper round, Ed had already saved £400 but knew he needed more to buy a suitable bike. After months of searching, a Yamaha TTR 125cc copy — a small off-road bike designed for young riders — came up for sale just down the road.

  • An evening with BBC Radio star Jeremy Vine BBC Radio broadcaster and national treasure, Jeremy Vine is coming to Frome to talk about his extraordinary life on the airwaves and the murder mystery inspired by his career. Jeremy will be in conversation with fellow BBC Radio broadcaster, BBC Bristol and Somerset’s Andy Bennett, at the Merlin Theatre in Frome on Saturday 21st June at 7.30pm. Jeremy is a lifelong Agatha Christie fan and his latest novel ‘Murder on the Airwaves’, is an engagingly twisty murder mystery set in Sidmouth, on the South West coast. The action centres on Edward Temmis, a down-and-out DJ who has fallen on very hard times. But when Edward’s devoted listeners start dying in murderous and mysterious ways, it’s more than just his career on the line. The event is being hosted by Winstone’s Hunting Raven Books. Copies of the book will be on sale and there will be a book signing at the end of the event. Tickets are £15 each. Book online at www.bit.ly/jeremyvinefrome or via the Merlin Theatre Frome www.merlintheatre.co.uk or 01373 465949 (Box Office open Monday to Friday 10am until 12noon).

  • Pod Youth Club expands in newly renovated premises The Pod Youth Club has relaunched and expanded its services after moving into a newly renovated youth centre in Frome. After 12 years of running a bespoke youth club for children with additional needs, The Pod Charity – which supports young people and adults with additional needs – has relaunched its youth club service in the Vallis Youth Centre on Vallis Road. The youth club is aimed at 8- to 17-year-olds and runs on Tuesday evenings during school term times and has had a significant waiting list for places. However, with the new premises now open, the charity says there is no longer a waiting list to join the youth groups which run from 5.15pm to 6.45pm and a second group runs from 7pm to 8.30pm.

  • Wild about Frome – What’s the point of wasps? A column by Frome Wild Bunch Sometimes people wonder, ‘What is the point of a wasp?’ When we talk about wasps, most of us think of the black and yellow striped social wasps, disrupting picnics at the end of summer, homing in on that jam sandwich! However, wasps are genuinely beneficial to our gardens: they have a role as pollinators, they are effective pest controllers and also scavengers of both fruit and carrion. There are about 9,000 species of wasp in the UK: Buglife says that ‘these include the parasitic wasps, some of which are so tiny, they can barely be seen without a microscope. 250 of these are the larger wasps which have a stinger. Only nine of these are social wasps, which form large colonies.’ Only queen wasps (of social species) overwinter, seeking out shelter in sheds, trees and on one occasion, in my sock that was on the washing line! (Not a good outcome for either of us!) As the weather warms, she will emerge to feed and seek a suitable location in which to build her nest, often using outbuildings, roof spaces, animal burrows underground, or hollow trees.

  • Four-year-old girl raises vital funds for charity in Victoria Park challenge. A four-year-old girl has taken on a fundraising challenge to raise nearly £500 for a local community meal service, inspired by her friendship with children and families who rely on it. Iris Wyatt completed the challenge on Friday 23rd May by cycling and scooting nearly two miles around Victoria Park, completing five laps to raise money for Fair Frome’s Food @ Five service. The initiative provides hot meals three evenings a week for families in need. Supporting Iris, friends and family cheered her on during the challenge, with her two best friends cycling alongside her for the final lap. When they crossed the finish line, they all celebrated with ice cream. Iris said, “The challenge was really hard but I think it’s good that Fair Frome now has lots more pennies.” Pictured: Iris with mum and dad Liam and Harri Wyatt Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
