Opens days at Amersham.

.
Amersham Organ Museum is the place to see some smashing Fair Organs. They are open one day every month during the winter, the latest is today 7th Feb. The January meet was cancelled due to the snow. The March one is also on the 7th.
It is a good chance for like minded people to get together for a chat. I meet up with several "small" organ owners to get news, udates and in my case, let friends have copies of my latest arrangements.
The Museum is the lifetimes work of Teddy Reed who has been collecting Fairground Organs for over fifty years.
