  • Stand unveiled at Melksham Town FC in memory of club stalwart Melksham Town Football Club has renamed one of its stands in memory of club stalwart Mick Perrin who died earlier this year. The club officially unveiled the Mick Perrin Stand in a special ceremony on Saturday 29th August which would have been Mick’s 80th birthday. The club said, “We were delighted to welcome the Perrin family to the Meads Of Melksham Community Football Stadium yesterday. The Mick Perrin Stand will continue to extend Mick’s legacy at the club he held so dear and close to his heart.” Mick died in February following more than six decades of service to Melksham Town as a player, secretary, chairman and joint president.

  • Nightclub reunion to celebrate Wiltshire’s clubbing history A reunion celebrating three of Wiltshire’s legendary nightclubs from the 1980s and 1990s will take place in Westbury this month. The Reflections, Oscars & Diggers Reunion will be held on Saturday 19th September at the former Reflections nightclub, now operating as Venom. The event will bring together former clubgoers and DJs of Reflections in Westbury, Oscars at Longleat near Warminster and Goldiggers in Chippenham. Organiser Chris Freeman said the reunion had been inspired by conversations with former clubgoers and DJs, with Reflections now the only one of the three venues still operating. “We felt the time was right to bring everyone together and celebrate the memories of these three iconic venues,” he said. “Don’t miss this chance to be a part of Wiltshire clubbing history!

  • Women’s community group celebrates first anniversary A local group bringing women together in a relaxed, supportive environment is celebrating its first anniversary this month. The Sundaze Club launched in September last year, with local women Becky and Kadie organising monthly meet-ups and activities for women in their 20s and 30s Since launching, the group has held a variety of events including brunches, bingo, exercise classes, days out and walks. Becky said, “It has flown by so quickly and I can’t believe just how much we’ve done in the year. We have tried to do lots of different events. Every last Sunday of the month we leave it open for going to bingo at Spoons in town. That can be a casual event that people can go to if they fancy it. “Once a month, we plan a fixed event where it’ll be something like a dog walk or a spa day. We’ve even done fitness sessions collaborating with CrossFit Devizes as well.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio

  • Water safety equipment installed along river New water safety equipment has been installed along the River Avon in Melksham to help people respond to emergencies in the water. Three rescue containers containing throwlines and other lifesaving equipment have been installed at locations along the river, including King George V Park. The measures follow concerns raised last summer after the Adventure Centre helped rescue children who had got into difficulty in the river. The centre reported three near-miss incidents involving children playing in the water last year. The equipment, installed by Melksham Town Council, was delivered following collaboration with several partners, including Wiltshire Search and Rescue and Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service, which provided specialist advice on the most appropriate equipment for the location.

  • Rain ends Melksham CC’s promotion hopes but 2nds and 3rds are crowned champions Melksham CC’s 2026 season has now come to a close, with the club able to celebrate another fantastic league campaign which has seen their 1st XI finish third and both the 2nd and 3rd XI’s finish as league champions. Unfortunately, the weather proved to be the decisive factor during the final weekend of the season, meaning that the 1st XI were denied the opportunity to go one better and seal a historic promotion to the West of England Premier League. They headed into the final weekend, sitting in third place and just seven points off top spot, all set for a four-team shoot out from which only the top two would be able to claim promotion. The heavy rain however emphatically put an end to Melksham’s hopes, cancelling all fixtures in Division 1 and meaning that it was Bishops Cannings and Winsley who would end the day celebrating promotion. The 2nd XI meanwhile, having already stormed to the league title with two games to spare, saw their final day clash with Avebury 3s also fall victim to the weather.

  • Melksham Police Update It has been a busy few weeks for the Melksham Neighbourhood Policing Team, with the summer period bringing an increase in demand alongside the inevitable reduction in staffing as officers take annual leave. Despite this, the team has continued to prioritise visibility across Melksham and the surrounding villages, balancing our commitment to community engagement with the operational demands we face. We have enjoyed attending a number of community groups across the town, including the Chatty Café and Men’s Club, both held at Melksham Campus on Tuesdays. These sessions provide a great opportunity for us to meet local residents, listen to their concerns and have informal conversations about what matters to the community. We were also delighted to welcome members of Steeple Ashton WI, who have very kindly created and knitted an amazing 25 trauma teddies for Wiltshire Police.
