Branch AGM (Annual General Meeting)

Saturday 11 April at 2 pm at Well House Manor, 48 Spa Road, Melksham. Guest speaker Graham Ellis, President of Melksham Chamber of Commerce and founder of the TransWilts Community Rail Partnership, will describe the successful campaign he led to quadruple the train service between Swindon and Westbury (see item below).

All welcome, let me know if you're arriving by train and need a pickup from the station

Planning ahead is quite common in the rail business - I was asked in January if I would be available for a talk to the Pewsey Vale Railway Society in 2016, and we've had apologies for absence at our TransWilts Link meeting which is every six month, new date typically notified in the minutes of the previous meeting, because that's "too short notice".
