Bulletin
|
The Federation's 'house magazine' is the FRMS Bulletin, published twice a year. All Societies affiliated to the Federation receive at least one copy, and copies are also sent to individual subscribers. The first editor was Frederick Youens, who produced it from the Federation's beginnings in 1936 until the outbreak of war in 1939. Publication was resumed after the war, firstly as duplicated sheets and later in booklet form. The current A4 format was adopted in 1993 under the editorship of Thelma Shaw. From 1999 to 2005 the Bulletin was edited by Arthur Baker; it is now edited once again by Thelma Shaw. There are articles on music and on musicians; there are also reviews of books, CDs and DVDs. News items about the Federation and Societies and reports from Regional Groups are regular features, and readers' letters often spark lively debate. Technical matters are not forgotten either, with articles on various audio-visual topics. The Spring issue each year includes a list of forthcoming musical anniversaries as well as the Presenters' Panel giving contact details of people willing to give talks to Societies. With a potential readership of over 10,000 the Bulletin forms a good medium for advertisers who wish to target members of recorded music societies. Advertisement rates start at £35 per insertion; for more details please contact the Marketing Manager, Tony Pook, 1 Lower Friargate, York, YO1 9SL. For
individual subscriptions (£6.80 for 4 issues/2 years) please contact |
