Do You like Music? If you do, why not come to a meeting of the Lewisham Recorded Music Society? The Society is a friendly group who enjoy listening to presentations of music of many types; these may be composer biographies, a study of a particular period of musical history or, perhaps, a selection of works built around a specific topic. Whichever it is, all programmes are illustrated by extracts from the recorded repertoire on CD, cassette and LP...... although past presentations have included a horn gramophone, musical boxes and videos. Members pay £6 per annum plus £3 for each meeting they attend to include refreshments.Non-members pay £3 at their first visit, £4 per meeting subsequently, which includes a temporary membership fee, until they take out full membership. If you are interested and want to try us out, please do so...... we shall be very pleased to see you NEW MEMBERS AND VISITORS WELCOME Bernard Smith 97 Portland Road Bromley Kent Tel. 020 8857 7078 .........for more information
