A new book looking back over the last one hundred years in the town was published in mid-October, and you can win one of two copies made available by WH Smith.

Written by members of The Swindon Society and published in hardback at £14.99 by Sutton Publishing, the book is a fascinating insight into the events, people and places that have made Swindon the place it is today.

The Swindon Society will be making a slide presentation of photographs that appear in A Century of Swindon on Friday 3 November, 7.30pm, in the Christ Church with St Mary's Church Hall on Devizes Road. Tickets at the door cost Ł2 and include refreshments.

On 8 November the Swindon Society holds its regular monthly meeting at the Broadgreen Centre, Salisbury Street, when David Bedford will be talking and showing slides of Swindon Postcards.

Later in November the society releases a new video 'Swindon Remembered' which gives a moving picture of the places and people that have formed the town.
