Lions and Rotary "Float" around Frome!

For two weeks in December together with Frome Rotary Club we take the Christmas Carol Float  with Santa on board to meet the children (and some adults) of the town and surrounding areas. An annual event, during which both clubs manage to raise substantial amounts of money for local charities.

A Big Thank You!

We wish to thank all donors for their generous contribution to this year's Tree of Remembrance. Placed at Rook Lane Chapel (pictured above) on Bath St, Frome, the Tree represents the friends, relatives and causes of the people of the town and surrounding area. May we also thank our sponsors, namely Nugent Vallis Brierley of Rook Lane for providing the location and power, the Longleat Estate for the tree, Compugraphic for signage and last but not least the Frome Town Band for the Christmas carols.
