A CENTURY of musical entertainment has been celebrated with the publication of a book.
York Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society was launched in 1902. As part of the celebrations, author Helen Mackman has written Memories By The Score, illustrated with more than 60 shots from society shows.
The Lord Mayor of York, Councillor David Horton, and his daughter, Lady Mayoress Katherine Gibson, were among the first to see the limited edition book.
Ms Mackman said: "Members of the society past and present have led me down a path of discovery which opened up York's social history as well as illustrating the wealth of diverse personalities who form the family of the society."
