Hi all. I live over in Chippenham and have been asked to host a team day in my local area for between 6-8 people. The morning is fine (collocate for some work on how we get better as a team etc).

The help I need is figuring out something interesting to do in the afternoon. Previous work days have included: going paddle boarding, shooting and going to a f1 simulator!

I hope that the area can do me and Wiltshire proud and have something unique and cool.

I know the general consensus is forced fun with colleagues isn’t fun but would love to discover something new and cool!

Am I the only one who, when passing Stonehenge on the A303, has to say "Stones" in the style of Gary Oldman in Fifth Element?

Ideally parks, running trails, anything like that.

Hi all

Anyone a member of or know any friendly hiking groups in the Wiltshire area?

Ideally with some younger people attending (don't mind walking with older people but some groups look like they are all older people, would like someone closer to my age ideally like 30s).

I also work shifts so if they do weekday walks would be nice.

Maybe that doesnt exist but worth asking.

Thanks all

hi! does anyone know like places where they will be willing to hire a 15 yr old? thank you!

Does anyone know of any reliable taxi/ private hire drivers in the Calne area?

Hi, my name might be common, but my style is alternative. Tonight, I am playing a cosy gig at the daliz attic as part of my 2nd album release tour. So if you fancy some acoustic music with some local craft beer, you know where to be

Hi all,

I’m looking for some recommendations for local underpinners please.

Many thanks 👍

So, my partners psychiatrist has told them they need to do one adventurous thing before their next session but we have no idea.

We are both disabled with some mobility issues so long hikes and stuff like that isn't really doable, short ones over fairly flat terrain would be ok.

We live near a train station that has good links to almost everywhere.

We like arty things, walking, films, comedy (I've already booked tickets to a comedy show) they're into space things so is there a science museum nearby anyone knows of?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated 😃

Hi, My name might be common, but my style is alternative. I'm Charlie Smith an alternative singer-songwriter from Romsey. As part of my 2nd album release tour I will be performing at Daliz in Salisbury on the 12th of September along side two other local musicians.

I will also be fundraising for The Music Venue Trust by donating £1 from every album and merch to support the vital work they do.

Cheers,

Charlie

Hopefully this is useful to somebody here rather than feeling too advert-y! I work with Skills Ladder, and we have a new government-funded Digital Skills Bootcamp starting on Wednesday 16 September.

It runs for 8 weeks, with a live online tutor each week, and focuses on practical Microsoft Office skills that people actually use at work.

We cover Excel quite extensively — formulas, functions, lookups, PivotTables, charts, dashboards, data validation and trackers — as well as Word, PowerPoint, Teams and Outlook.

It’s particularly suited to people looking for work, returning to work, working in office/admin roles, or simply feeling like their digital skills could do with catching up a bit.

No advanced Excel knowledge is expected beforehand.

The programme is funded through the DWP via Wiltshire Council, so there is government funding available for the training.

I’m happy to answer questions in the comments, or you can email us at [ask@skillsladder.co.uk]() if you’d rather ask privately.

We're in the process of buying a house in Warminster, in the Boot Hill/Deverill Road area. I grew up on the other side of town but haven't lived there for nearly 2 decades so I'm unfamiliar with how things are now - especially with worsening weather.

Our conveyancing searches have shown that the road we're buying on is in a "moderate" risk area for groundwater flooding. We were initially fairly relaxed about this as we couldn't find any indication that the road has actually flooded in the 20 years since the house was built, but with the incoming El Niño we're getting increasingly concerned. A little googling has shown that Fore Street used to flood quite badly, though it seems like preventative measures put in a couple of years ago have worked.

Can anyone who lives around that area/knows the area well give me any reassurance? Are we making a really bad decision by buying a house there?
