What is a MOOS AGM?
Our Annual General Meeting is one big social gathering...
|
Every year, we aim to achieve big things and we encourage our membership to bring thoughts on how to move the society forward to the next level. Also the meeting length is kept to the minimum, as we understand these AGM's are more of a social gathering. Therefore plenty of time for food, drink and organ music!

AGM Memories
In 2018, the AGM went to Cornwall to the Ian Rogers Collection. We also visited collector Robert Hough in Devon, Peter Phillips, the custodian of the Anderton and Rowland Grand Organ, and Dingles Fairground Heritage.
In 2017, the AGM visited a hidden gem in Spilsby. The collection belongs to MOOS Member David O Connor. We couldn't believe the variety of organs and other mechanical music instruments.
The 2016 AGM visited the collection of Russell Cook, Shropshire. Nearly everyone saw and heard instruments which were 'new to the ears' and it was great to enjoy a sandwich and a natter in the sunshine! Thank you Russell and family.
Our Chairman, Alan Smith, proposed 'freezing' subscription rates at £12 again this year, put still providing our members with 2-3 magazines, 4 or more newsletters plus other benefits such as instrument insurance, plus tours and events here, and abroad.
