Hi John.
I envy you your club. We have the Bristol Hammond and Electronic Organ Soc. down here. I am a founder member and we are in our 50th year but regretably membership rapidly declining. It seems to attract only pensioners and the inevitable happens. We have an organist ( at considerable cost ) from the circuit, play each month and most members are not players. They just like the organ music. We used to have a members playing night but it declined into oblivion.
Keep up the good work and spread the message Ken

Hi Everyone. I think Bill has covered most of the points. We do also have a band night were the leader plays a tune and we all join in playing it either right hand, just chords or both. It is most enjoyable couple of hours of non stop playing. The numbers have dropped since Nick ran it. Apparently it used to be full with players and school children attending to play. We have about 20 members of age group about 65 plus.
Thank you Ken for taking an interest it is pleasing to know that players other than our members view our site.i am sure there are lots of players close to us who would benefit from attending.
Thanks again to all who have commented. Best wishes. John
