SUMMARY:'Moonies\, Movers and Shakers.'  by Graham Carter
DESCRIPTION:Moonies\, Movers & Shakers\, by Graham Carter \nMoonies\, Movers and Shakers is an illustrated talk about a book of the same name\, written by Swindon local historians Noel Ponting and Graham Carter. When they looked into an association for former Swindon railwaymen who moved to London\, they made some surprising discoveries: remarkable (but previously untold) stories of leading Wiltshiremen (aka ‘Moonies’) and a fresh insight into social life in the early 20th century. \n\n\nWhy not join us on August 27th 2026 at 7:30 PM at the Bakers’ Café? \nCost\nSwindon Heritage Preservation (SHP) Full Members – FREE Entry \nGuests – £5.00 Entry \nMembership\nBecoming a SHP Full Member gives you full FREE access to our series of talks\, along with many other benefits.
