New kit sponsor for Warminster youth football team

Warminster Youth FC’s under-9s team has been bolstered by a new kit sponsorship.

Local company Aspire Defence Services Ltd (ADSL) has sponsored new kits for the young footballers.

Kenny Graham, from ADSL, said, “Warminster Youth FC is dedicated to fostering a passion for football, nurturing young talent, and providing meaningful opportunities for young people.

“Recognising an opportunity to support this newly established club in its growth, I consulted with a member of my team, whose grandson is a player, to explore how ADSL could contribute.”

The kit includes 19 blue jerseys and one goalkeeper jersey.

Kenny added, “Ben Deacon, Head Coach of Warminster Youth FC, has expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the support. He was genuinely overwhelmed by the generosity, which has greatly benefited the team and the club’s mission.

“We are proud to support Warminster Youth FC and look forward to seeing the positive impact of this partnership on the young players and the wider community.”

  • Warminster Museum Column: Before the Bell was old

This is a most remarkable photograph. Not only is the Bell not yet the Old Bell, but the Lloyds Bank building has not yet been built.

The date stone on what was until recently, Lloyds Bank, gives the topping out date of 1873, so we can date this photograph sometime around 1871. In 1871, taking a photograph was not a matter of pointing a camera or a mobile phone at a subject and pressing a button. It really was a lot more difficult.

Mr. Smith, who took this photograph, had a studio and dark room in East Street. He probably set up his camera in a suitable position, ensured that a photograph would be suitably well focused, then left an assistant to stand guard over the camera while he went back to his dark room to prepare a glass plate. He prepared the light-sensitive chemical mix and spread this mixture over the surface of the glass plate.  He now had about 15 or 20 minutes to take the photograph and to start to develop it.  The glass plate with the light-sensitive materials would have been quite useless after about 25 minutes. Yes, this is a remarkable photograph.

  • New Warminster studio brings bungee fitness to town

A new fitness studio in Warminster is turning exercise on its head - quite literally. 

Velocity Bungee Fitness, based at Norbeck Enterprise Centre, offers classes using suspended bungee rigs that allow participants to jump, glide and exercise with reduced impact on their joints.

“The idea came from a desire to bring something genuinely different to the local fitness scene,” said owner Stacey Holborow. “It’s fun, inclusive and accessible to people who might not feel at home in a traditional gym.”

Stacey opened the studio after trying bungee fitness herself.

“After experiencing bungee fitness firsthand and seeing how empowering it could be, I knew it was something worth bringing to Warminster and the surrounding areas,” she said.

  • Tribute to Warminster woman as two men jailed over fatal collision

The family of a ‘loving and creative’ Warminster woman killed in a road traffic collision three years ago have paid tribute after two men were jailed for dangerous driving. 

Ella Cook died in a collision on the A36 in Claverton on 15th April 2023, aged 26. 

Two men from Warminster, Lewis Glasby and Alfie Cook, were jailed after the court heard they had been racing one another before the collision. 

Glasby, 23, of The Beeches in Warminster, and Cook, 22, of Brook Street in Warminster, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving and two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving. 

Cook received a prison sentence of nine years and four months at Bristol Crown Court on Friday 10th April. Glasby received a prison sentence of nine years. 

On behalf of Ella’s family, Kai Poa-Tams, Ella’s fiancée, said, “Ella was a deeply loving partner, daughter, sister and friend. She gave herself completely to the people she cared about, always putting others first with a warmth that made everyone feel safe, valued and understood. 

“She had a natural way of bringing people together, and her kindness left a lasting mark on everyone lucky enough to know her. 

“Ella was also a valued and dedicated member of staff at NHS Blood and Transplant, progressing through her career with remarkable determination."

  • Women-only studio unveils low-impact fitness sessions

Spring is always a great time to try something new, and that’s exactly why Hebe-Fitness, a local female-only fitness studio, is launching a brand-new class this month.

Balance and Burn is designed specifically for women seeking a more mindful alternative to high-intensity workouts.

“It offers a fresh, holistic approach to exercise,” said Stacey St John Marchmont who is owner and head instructor at the studio in The Cornmarket in the centre of Warminster. “It focuses not just on physical strength, but also on stability, control and mental clarity, creating a well-rounded experience for both body and mind.

“Blending controlled precision, resilience-building exercises, core strengthening and mindful movement, the class delivers a dynamic yet accessible workout. 

“At its heart are Pilates-based exercises that target the core - the foundation of all movement. Through controlled, low-impact techniques, participants can strengthen deep abdominal muscles, improve posture and develop long, lean muscle tone. The emphasis is firmly on precision rather than speed, helping to reduce the risk of injury while still achieving effective results."
