The Society’s face for radio …
ByMany members listened in to a recent BBC Prom on Radio 3 which described the early days of the Royal Albert Hall, the Victorian Exhibitions and The Wine Society. Now while the recording disappeared into the ether once iPlayer’s seven day limit elapsed, we did grab a couple of video opportunities on the night, and so the parts of the programme pertaining to The Society are now available below for posterity.
Long-term work is afoot on The Society’s history and archive material. If you and your family have ‘history’ with The Society (not necessarily first-hand from 1874!) we’d love to hear from you.
Well done Ewan. Thankyou for all your efforts in gaining a recording of the broadcast you made on this important piece of Wine Society history. A pity the whole BBC broadcast couldn’t be retrieved, but what you have obtained is something all members can watch and enjoy.
