Does anyone have a record player capable of playing old 78 records that they are willing to part with?
If so, there is a man in Jerilderie who would be extremely happy to hear from you.
One of our senior citizens has a collection of 78s, some probably collectors’ items, and he is, at present, unable to enjoy the memories they bring back.
If you can help, please contact Peter on 0427 210 939.

If anyone would like their business to appear on the calendar, or if there are any changes required to existing information, please contact Richard on 0427 856 252.
