  BBC - Wiltshire - Villages - Blunsdon Community Shop opens
Julie Allen, a relative newcomer to Blunsdon, moved in only a year ago and as a member of the village shop committee she was somewhat taken aback by the numbers who turned out to celebrate the shop's official opening.
Blunsdon's village shop is in a portable building - in fact, an old site office from a building firm, not that it bears any resemblance to what arrived off the back of a lorry at the end of January.
Malcolm Ward, the chairman of the Blunsdon Shop committee says that success of the project was due to the strength of the committee and he too was delighted to see so many people from the village at the shop's official opening.

 The Blunsdon Blog: November 2006
Blunsdon is one of the last big tracks in Britain and it is well known for the speeds that the riders achieve, yet the number of serious accidents at The Abbey is considerably less than at most tracks.
At the very place where the bikes are revving at their highest, where the riders throw the back end of their machines sideways to start the turn, rivulets of water have etched out mini canyons across the track.
Because the track at Blunsdon is on a slope, turns 3 and 4 are always drier than 1 and 2.

 Blunsdon United F.C. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blunsdon United is a local football club based in the village of Broad Blunsdon, near Swindon, Wiltshire, playing in the Wiltshire Football League.
It is a grass-roots football club held in high regard by the village of Blunsdon, seen by locals as keeping Blunsdon "independent", a bulwark against the anonymity of absorption by the sprawling northern suburbs of Swindon.
In 2002 Blunsdon United was named "Unsung Team of the Year 2002" in the Swindon Evening Advertiser and was mentioned in a small article in the national tabloid The Sun.

The demise of the village shop is something that can only add to the feeling of isolation experienced by rural dwellers but the resolve to reinstate such services demonstrates the resolve of such communities.
