"The Object of the Society is to Promote the Enjoyment and Deeper Appreciation of Recorded Music"

Welcome to the Seventieth Season of Musical Evenings presented by the Cheltenham Recorded Music Society. It meets at the Bayshill Unitarian Church, Royal Well Lane, Cheltenham on the first Tuesday of the month at 7.30 pm.

The programmes are presented by professional or specialist speakers, covering a variety of music which we hope will appeal to as wide an audience as possible. The programmes, which are illustrated with recordings on CD, tape and occasionally on LP, are produced on our own modern high quality equipment. From time to time we have an audio/visual evening when the presenter provides his/her own equipment.

Parking is available in the municipal car park in Chapel Walk.

Our meetings are very informal and we take a coffee break at half time when members can chat to each other, and this gives us a chance to get to know new members.

Prospective members are always welcome at any of our meetings. Our subscriptions for the current year are £14.00 and £2.00 per meeting for Visitors. We feel this represents very good value for money for an evening's entertainment.
