First Meeting Record Club

The first meeting for 1962 of the Vic Record Club was held successfully last Thursday. Unfortunately it clashed with the Extrav cast meeting, which lured away some of our old members and meant there was too much noise coming from next door. We hope that this will be avoided in future and that our membership will increase from the present twenty odd to something more like fifty or sixty as we had last year. Since over sixty signified their interest in the activities of this club during enrolment week there are good grounds for our optimism.

Don't hesitate to come in when you are late; the club is very informal and anyone is welcome any time.

The evening began with a welcome to new members and old from Mike Hinsch and a short discussion on the organisation and aims of the club. We then listened to several fine recordings including "Death and Transfiguration" Strauss, Porgy and Bess, Cappriccio Italione, Tschaikovsky and Rhapsody in Blue, Gershwin, and the evening concluded with coffee.

The next meetings are to be held on Thursday 22, Thursday 29, and thereafter, every Wednesday night, in the Women's Common Room, 7.30 p.m. If you would like to help with choice of programmes, please contact the secretary. Otherwise, anyone is welcome to bring their records along to any meeting.

Cathy Benefield,

Secretary.
