A GROUP which discusses transport issues raised £1,000 for two good causes in Swindon.
Members of the town's Institute of Transport Administration group raised the money when it staged a national conference at Blunsdon House Hotel in October.
It will be jointly shared between the MS Society, Swindon, and Thamesdown Hydrotherapy Pool in Jefferies Avenue.
IOTA Swindon secretary Colin Harl-ing said: "The conference involved 130 people and included a raffle of 28 prizes including a divan bed, weekend break for two and clock radio. There was also the auction of a stereo system which raised £205."
Just under 100 people comprise the IOTA Swindon group, the youngest aged 16.
Members meet regularly to discuss transport issues relating to road, air, rail and sea.
For more information ring Mr Harling on Swindon 615299.
