Summer fete fun at Westbury to aid Macmillan

First Great Western staff from Westbury train crew depot and the railway station are holding a summer fair on Saturday to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Some of the activities planned for the afternoon include a cake competition, skittles tournament, tug of war and lots of games for all the family to enjoy.

British Transport Police (BTP▸ (British Transport Police)) will also be marking bikes, phones and laptops in a bid to crack down on theft.

FGW▸ (First Great Western) driver manager Sally Wiltshire said: ^This event is all about bringing colleagues together, having fun and raising money for charity.

"We^ve got all the right ingredients for a great day out and it^s a fantastic opportunity to bring our local community together."

Good question ... I noticed

There will be music and entertainment provided by FGW▸ (First Great Western) staff in the Railway Club until 11pm
and that's directly across the road from the station ... so I would presume that's the base all day
