Message shared as in the request within the email. Personally, I have a prior appointment which precludes me going to either event. Had that not been the case, I would be very seriously considering it.
Begin forwarded message:
From: Alex Lawrie <Alex.Lawrie @ go-op.coop>
Subject: Please join us for the launch of Go-op's share offer on the 18th

I am writing to you because we believe that you will be keen to hear about developments with the introduction of new rail services in Somerset and Wiltshire. As you may be aware, Go-op Co-operative has now secured the approval of the Office of Rail and Road for a brand new route between Weston super Mare and Swindon, via Taunton, Frome and Melksham.
However, there is a strict condition attached. We must prove in short order that we have sufficient funds in place to launch the service - and that includes £1.5M of improvements to level crossings on the route. As part of our plan to meet that target, we are launching a £2.8M share offer on Wednesday 18th December.
We would very much like your body to be represented at one of the two events:
Swindon: The Council Chamber, Swindon Borough Council 1130am
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1112648494599?aff=oddtdtcreator
Taunton: The Great Western Hotel, Taunton Station 4.00pm
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1112677029949?aff=oddtdtcreator
We do appreciate it if you can book with Eventbrite to indicate your interest - but by all means turn up on the day. If we can succeed in this venture it will have a transformative impact: for rail users in the south west, for our pathway to zero carbon emissions, and for introducing co-operative values and practices to more sectors of the economy.
Please spread the word - forward this email to contacts locally, share the posts on social media, bring your friends along!
Thanks, Alex Lawrie

There's another similar event on the same day, at 1600-1730 at the Great Western Hotel in Taunton, right by the station. So don't expect the SWindon event to over run!
