Programme for the 2017/2018 season
At each location visited we will learn a little about its history and the organ, which will be demonstrated by the resident organist or by a short recital given by one of our members. Members will then usually have the opportunity to play the organ. Tea or Coffee will be served. Full details will be given in the Newsletter preceding the event, all of which will have a theme.
