A core aim of the society is to encourage participation in the collection of these wonderful sounds, and to promote the need to understand their meanings.
Through its members, the Society fosters developing recording skills and techniques as well as promoting the study of bioacoustics. Members of WSRS benefit from learning about how to go about recording wildlife sounds, where to go, what equipment to use, what to do with the sounds that have been captured, as well as being alerted to some of the pit-falls to avoid.

The British Vintage Wireless Society (BVWS)

The British Vintage Wireless Society (BVWS) is a society of approximately 1700 World-wide members sharing a common interest in the preservation and communication of technical and historical data, and the preservation and restoration of Vintage radio and related equipment.
Six enthusiasts seeking to explore the history, science and technology of Radio founded the BVWS on 25th April 1976. Approaches to Museums and the Academic community were made with the result of being largely unsuccessful. Undeterred this small dedicated group eventually formed the BVWS. The Society's first AGM was held at the Historic Writtle hut, which in 1922 had been home to the Marconi Scientific Company's first experimental wireless transmitter, call sign 2MT.
