The Stirling Recorded Music Society is a group of classical music enthusiasts who meet every 2 weeks to discuss and listen to recordings. At most meetings a member presents a selection of recorded music and background information on the composers & musicians involved. (The composers are by no means limited to the illustrative but otherwise arbitrary list shown above). The meetings cover classical music of all types from early music to the contemporary & encompass chamber, orchestral, choral, opera, vocal and ballet music. The recordings include both recent and historic productions.
Not every member makes a presentation;some just come along for the enjoyment of listening and meeting others with similar interests. Some meetings are "members' nights" to which members (or visitors) bring a short piece to be played to the group. Usually these will be new or unusual works.
We are a friendly group and all meetings are also social occasions for us, as classical music lovers, so even if you would just like to listen and meet with us without taking an active part, you would be most welcome.
All meetings are held fortnightly on Wednesdays at 7:30pm in the Allan Community Centre, Fountain Road, Bridge of Allan.
The club meet once a fortnight on Siundays and use their own cars sharing the cost of transport. The winter programme normally has low level walks within easy travel distance. In summer we go further and higher!
All walks (except where noted in programme) leave Dunblane at 9am from the car park by Tesco. Membership : single £3, Family £5

Dunblane Allotment Group (DAG) was formed in 2004 with the aim of re-opening the derelict allotment site at the Laighhills, which had fallen into disuse in the early 1980s. The next nearest sites are at Bridge of Allan and Stirling with long waiting lists. This has been a major development for the Dunblane community, providing a significant new amenity for the town in line with the current environmental agenda.
The 60,000 square metre site houses 53 plots of varying sizes. Work by 3 volunteers began in November 2004 and has progressed from there to a constituted organisation run by volunteers. The Management Committee meets monthly with open meetings held four times per year. Volunteers also work regularly to maintain the site and work parties are organised at intervals throughout the year to tidy up. The Annual Potato Day is held on the first Saturday in March (Check 'What's On' for the details). There are now 5 starter plots for members to try before taking on a full plot. Read more about DAG here.
In April 2016, a group from the Criminal Justice Team have made life much safer for the members of the Dunblane Allotment Group by relaying paths, which had become overgrown and very slippery, in the allotment. Read More
If you are interested in having a plot, contact the DAG Secretary, Penny Veitch (see below)
