Looking for a speaker? If you are an organizer of talks and lectures for groups such as

* Federation of Small Businesses, Chamber of Commerce, CBI
* Women's Institute or Townswomen's Guild
* Parish and town councils, senior schools and colleges
* Access groups and specialist interest groups?
* After Dinner talks
I may be able to help you - and you help me raise the cause of the "TransWilts" train service linking Southampton and Salisbury, via Warminster, Westbury, Trowbridge and Melksham to Chippenham and Swindon.
On Saturday, I spoke to an audience of over 120 people at a National Conference, and here is a review ...
Dear Graham,
Just a short note to express the considerable thanks of our organising committee for your superb contribution to the proceedings at the Maltings yesterday. My memories of Railfuture events is of generally lack luster, content-light delivery. Not so yesterday. You were yet another enthusiastic, dynamic speaker who delivered substance...and to time! For this we are immensely grateful. It was also wonderfully encouraging to have a speaker who understood rather more than me about computers....and had the good taste to operate one of those beautiful AppleMac laptops.
Even from the initial feedback, it is pretty obvious that most people felt very enthused and positive about the proceedings. So,again, my thanks for your immensely valuable contribution to the proceedings.
With best wishes (especially for the persuasion of FGW into better behavior!)
Chris

The issues are of immense local interest, with the proposed Westbury bypass in it s current form likely to relieve Westbury at considerable expense but lead to traffic jams at other locations up and down the corridor, while at the same time the parallel railway has just two passenger trains a day.
