Summary

Transcription made in 1984 of an oral history recording. Eric Thorpe was a foundation member of Portland C.E.M.A., active in the Literary and Dramatic Groups and on the Executive. His memories of the early decades of the organisation were recorded by Lesley Jackson in 1984.
Recording is no longer available. Portland C.E.M.A. (Council for Encouragement of Music and the Arts) was formed in 1945. In 2025, as part of its 80th Birthday celebrations, a series of taped interviews from the 1980s and 1990s were digitised with the assistance of Glenelg Shire Community Grants. (Arts and Culture) The variable quality of the original recordings has meant digitisation has not been possible for all interviews. Transcripts have been provided where possible.
