Events
EOA events in the pipeline for your diaries include:
There may be members who would like to join us but have transport difficulties.
If this is the case for you, please do email the Association at organistassociation@gmail.com so that we can try to put you in touch with members attending events who may be able to help you with this.
We have a box of second-hand organ music available for members to look through and purchase from available at some of our events, so do bring along some cash (for purchases) together with any unwanted music that you may have (to add to the box). All proceeds go to our Christopher Kingsley Memorial Fund for young organists. Donations of money and music are always welcome.
Do contact Michaela Cottee on organistassociation@gmail.com for more information as to what music is available, or to arrange collection of organ music that you wish to donate, if needed. You can also contact Michaela if you would like to make a financial donation to the Christopher Kingsley Memorial Fund without purchasing any music.
