The Frome Wessex Camera Club will be holding a Camera & Photographic Fair on Sunday 10th April at the Cheese & Grain.

This is the South West’s largest camera & photographic fair with over 50 stands selling everything photographic, including digital cameras.

“The fair gives you the opportunity to purchase fine used cameras (collectable and modern) lenses, filters, flashguns, film, paper, books and old prints,” said David Chedgy from the Camera Club.

“If you have never been to the photographic camera fair you are missing a great opportunity as the prices are low and you’ll find cameras, lens and lots of bits and pieces, and accessories that you’ve been searching for,” says

“Makes include Bronica, Canon, Fuji, Sigma, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, Leica, Mamiya, plus digital cameras and all the other photographic goodies on display to tempt you.

“Camera fairs are very friendly places and the stallholders will only be too pleased to give help and technical assistance on the photographic equipment and goods.”

For those who would like the opportunity to join the Frome Wessex group of photographers, please see the Frome Wessex Camera Club stand for details or visit www.fromewessexcameraclub.co.uk

Early bird admission for the show is £5 at 8.30am; general admission is £3.00 from 9.30am to 2.00pm. Refreshments will be available and there is free car parking. All profits from the admission will go to the Frome Wessex Camera Club.

For information about the Photographic Fair or the Frome Wessex Camera Club please contact the FWCC Secretary via the website.

  • Bumper summer for local cider maker

A family-run cidery has had a busy summer introducing a new range of canned ciders and supplying festivals across the country.

Lilley’s Cider, based at Roewood Farm, Frome, has brought some of its flavours into cans, with the new range particularly suited to festivals.

Marketing coordinator Lauren Edwards said, “There is a good selection of canned flavours available. Cans work particularly well at festivals because they’re easy to chill, serve and enjoy, while giving people the opportunity to try different flavours.” 

Lilley’s Cider started in 2007 and is owned and run by father and son Chris and Marc Lilley. The independent company has put some of its cocktail flavours into cans, including passionfruit martini, piña colada and raspberry lemonade, alongside some of its more traditional ciders.

The new range has been supplied to festivals including Ranch Jam Festival, Soul Disco Society, Beacon Park Tribute Festival, Supersonic Weekender, the Back 2 Festival and Dubs of Rock Festival.

  • Frome girl raises funds to help others with epilepsy

An eight-year-old girl from Frome has celebrated two years without a major seizure by running a lucky dip stall in Victoria Park to raise funds for an epilepsy charity.

Charlotte Hodge, who has epilepsy, organised the fundraising stall after deciding she wanted to help other people living with the condition.

The lucky dip was on Sunday 30th August, and raised over £300 for Young Epilepsy, which supports children and young people under 25 who have epilepsy and other conditions.

Charlotte’s mum Danielle said, “We wanted to celebrate the fact that she hadn’t had a seizure for the last two years. Charlotte came to me and said she wanted to raise money. We started looking through different charities and we saw Young Epilepsy, which I thought would work well because there are quite a few children in similar circumstances.”

Charlotte, a pupil at Hayesdown First School, was diagnosed with epilepsy at 10 months old after having a febrile convulsion. She has two types of seizures – absence seizures and focal seizures – and takes medication every day.

  • Bridge club opens doors to new players

Members of Frome Bridge Club shared their skills at a public event at Frome Library on Saturday 5th September.

The ‘All About Bridge’ event gave visitors an insight into how the game is played and aimed to encourage a new generation of players.

Organisers said they were ‘delighted’ with the level of interest, with more than 10 people expressing an interest in joining the club’s beginners’ class starting in October.

Frome Bridge Club teacher John Perry said, “Our aim was to recruit people for our beginners’ class starting October and more than 10 people showed interest, so it was a very successful day. I’d like to thank all the club members who generously gave their time to support the event.”

  • Historic pub granted community value status

A 300-year-old pub in East Woodlands has officially been recognised as an Asset of Community Value (ACV), giving local residents an opportunity to help secure its future.

Residents have been rallying to save the Horse and Groom pub, which closed in 2020, with a community group set up to explore ways of bringing it back into community use.

The Friends of the Horse and Groom nominated the pub for ACV status, which has been approved by Somerset Council. However, the listing is now subject to a review after the council received a request from the property owner.

The pub, affectionately known as ‘The Jockey’ by generations of regulars, has historically been ‘the hub and heart of our community’, with residents now exploring how the community can organise itself to be in the strongest possible position should the pub become available.

  • Share Frome returns to new premises after two-year break

A charity promoting sharing, repairing and reusing has returned to Frome after a two-year break, reopening at new premises at Welshmill Hub.

Share Frome has been rebuilding its operations since June, when it soft-launched from a shared unit at Welshmill Hub alongside FromeBase, a new community DIY surplus project dedicated to keeping useful materials out of landfill.

The charity was previously located on The Bridge, where it operated for nine years. It closed last summer after Halifax shut its branch in the building where the project was based.

Without a suitable location from which to operate, the charity had to step back from its activities.

  • Frome connections drive new Grand Tour series.

Frome has a starring connection to the new series of The Grand Tour, with new presenter Francis Bourgeois joined on screen in the opening episode by former Formula 1 world champion Jenson Button, who is also from the town.

Francis, who still lives locally, presents the new series on Amazon Prime alongside YouTubers James Engelsman and Thomas Holland.

Originally hosted by Top Gear trio Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, the series sees Francis and his co-presenters travel across the world taking on large-scale motoring challenges, from crossing the Angolan desert in track cars to exploring Malaysia’s vibrant car culture, before heading to California to test cutting-edge performance cars. 

The opening episode, titled The Next Generation, features Francis and Jenson revealing that they share the same hometown, before the former F1 driver puts a selection of sports cars to the test to see which can set the fastest lap.
