Our personal highlights in 2010…

All of our personal highlights coming soon...

We also took the opportunity to ask Josh to pass on our support and best wishes to all of his colleagues at Headley Court and to everyone who works there for the incredible work they do for injured troops as he was returning the next day for further treatment.


We only had the opportunity to chat briefly but I found Josh to be a true credit to himself, his family and his chosen profession and found the whole thing both a humbling experience and truly inspirational due to Josh’s extraordinary completely unselfish attitude to life and total lack of self-pity.


The huge cheer that went up when Josh was introduced was very emotional and indeed ‘must have been heard in Trowbridge’. We as a group were all very happy that we think we got it right by inviting Josh to switch on the lights . . . it was very special.   ALAN WEYMOUTH, Melksham Christmas Lights Group Co-ordinator

n an extraordinary season by any standards one of my personal highlights of last years lights somewhat surprisingly considering the apparent success of the actual display itself was at the switch-on.


In true Melksham Christmas Lights style our switch-on’s remain ‘celebrity free’, no TV weather girls or the like for us, and last year we chose to have them switched on by our community’s very own Josh Campbell, a Melksham’s born and bred serviceman who had the misfortune to step on to an IED in Afghanistan and sadly suffered the loss of both his legs.


Josh’s arrival was completely unadvertised as there was no way we wanted him to be used as an ‘attraction’, we simply invited him and his family along because we wanted them to know how we as a group, and I hope and believe all our community, supports and cares about him and his colleagues for the dangerous work they have to undertake in the line of duty . . . regardless of what one’s individual views of the conflict might be.
