OUR OBJECTIVE is to provide enjoyment for all who are interested in the art of recorded sound. The season's programme therefore is arranged to cover the many aspects of this art and the musical content is varied to suit most tastes. THE SOCIETY was formed in 1944 as the Stoke-on-Trent Gramophone Society. We have of course long since abandoned 'wind-up' image. Indeed, many of the great changes (LPs, Stereo, Quad, Cassettes, Electrostatic Speakers, CDs andVideo etc.) were first demonstrated in this area by the Society. VISITORS are always welcome and are under no immediate obligation to join the Society. WE MEET at the Bradwell Lodge Community Centre. Bradwell Lane, Porthill, Newcastle Staffs ST5 8PS on alternate Wednesdays from September to early May. Meetings begin at 7.30 and end at 9.45 with an interval for tea and chat from 8.30 to 8.45 For meeting Location click Grange Lane FURTHER DETAILS are available from the Secretary: Sheila Stanier 3 Crackley Lane Scot Hey Newcastle ST5 6AP Tel: 01782 631122
