Children at Parkfield Special School, Folkestone,
have been presented with a stereo cassette and a record player by a local pub.
Mr. and Mrs. Geoffrey Biggs, landlord
and landlady of the Red Cow, Foord Road, Folkestone, and their customers,
raised nearly £150 through various events in the past year. The cassette and
record player were presented to the school by the pub’s darts team at the East
Cliff Pavilion, Folkestone. The children use the equipment every morning during
play sessions and at other times during the day.
“The record players
we have had before have been big and bulky”, teacher Mrs. Jean Vincent said.
“This one is compact and easy to carry about. It
also has a tape recorder for cassettes which we did not have before. I am
teaching one of the boys to use the tape himself to record his stories”.
