With keynote speakers from the worlds of industry, commerce and politics we will be exploring the opportunities for those seeking to find work, and those seeking to find workers. We welcome partners to join us in making Opportunity Melksham a success. We are keen to work with local, regional and national based businesses across the commercial sector; with banks, charities and institutions; with schools, colleges and universities; with employment agencies, recruitment agencies and with innovators and entrepreneurs. We are actively seeking more stallholders as well as speakers, presenters, motivators and panellists.

It was February 4th, on a cold and rainy day. Myself and 4 of my friends had got tickets for Taylor Swift's famous Red tour and made a detailed plan of how we would get around for the evening and make it back in time for some sleep before school.! It felt like a real adventure as we all chatted whilst sitting on the train, imaging what the evening would be like. We were all very aware of the tube strike which would be taking place that day but had checked all over the internet and found our tube line would luckily not be affect. Or so we thought. We arrived in London and first got a delicious McDonalds. Afterwards we got our tickets for the tube, which is when we were reassured again that our tube line would not be affected by the strike. However after a cramped and claustrophobic journey on the tube, we arrived at the O2 arena where there was a notice to warn those at the concert about the strike. We went in thinking nothing of it, brought our Taylor Swift tshirts and had an amazing time! The Vamps were her support act and her surprise guest for the evening was Danny O'Donoghue from the Script! As we came out of the concert we suddenly saw the large crowds of people and the doors closed to the tube. This is when we realised we were doomed. After struggling to try and get on the bus and failing, we finally caught a taxi to Paddington station where my dad picked us up at 2 in the morning. It was definitely an experience at that but now I am eternally in debt to my dad for saving us at such a ridiculous time! Hey ho, the best laid plans can go wrong!
